Celebração

206 pieces

"Celebração" means "Celebration" in Portuguese. For Gerry and Vivi's wedding puzzle I decided to reprise a background concept I had used on an earlier puzzle, West Village Romance. I think the wall of jumbled hearts works well when the picture background is out of focus, and the many dropouts created by the hearts makes those areas very tricky. As I was planning out the hearts, it was almost by accident I realized that cutting around the tops of their heads looked like the top of a heart, so I cut two sliver dropouts near their necks to emphasize that their faces are framed by a heart.

There wasn't much room for figure pieces, but you can see the date of their wedding, champagne flutes being clinked, and they have cats. She is from Brazil, and he is from Massachusetts, where they now live.
