This is my first try at a freehand puzzle. Thanks to the encouragment and instructions from Carter Johnson. This photo is of my daughter, son-in-law and their baby. My son-in-laws parents are always putting puzzles together, so I thought I would give this to them. This puzzle is about 7 by 9 inches and has 75 pieces. The back side is mirror image.
