How to use

Open the box and spread the pieces on a flat, well-lit workspace. Separate edge pieces from inner pieces and group by color or distinctive shapes to speed assembly. Begin by constructing the border to establish the panoramic format, then work on recognizable elements of the fantasy image. Use the contoured piece shapes as an additional sorting method when matching adjoining parts. Store unused pieces in the original box or a labeled container to keep them organized between sessions.

Usage recommendations

Assemble on a clean, flat surface with adequate lighting; a puzzle mat or board can protect the image and simplify transport if you need to move the work in progress. For preservation, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and store completed puzzles flat or mounted using appropriate adhesives and backing if you wish to display the finished image.
