Winter Perch

Winter Perch is a charming 500-piece puzzle from Galison, and the artist is Cagla Zimmerman. It features a winter scene of several birdhouses with birds flying around them that provide pops of color against the more muted background of blue-green foliage.

This was an enjoyable puzzle to do. I chose it as part of the Winter Bingo challenge I have been doing with the Casual Puzzlers Facebook group. This puzzle was for the Winter Scene bingo square, which was actually the final square on the board for me.

Here is the finished puzzle as well as the finished bingo card:

With the completed bingo card, I actually earned six entries into the bingo giveaway drawing:

• Four Corners
• One straight or diagonal line
• X Marks the Spot – both diagonal lines
• Picture Frame – all border squares completed
• Blackout – the full card is complete
• Disney Bonus – bonus entry for using Pooh in my Disney puzzle

I had a lot of fun doing the bingo and picking puzzles that would fit the different squares. I will say that it feels a little strange now to just choose any puzzle I want to do without thinking about the bingo challenge. I got used to having that structure! I do have several puzzles on my to-do list, though, so I am looking forward to doing whatever I want now.
