Galison - Artichoke Floral - 500 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle

One shape puzzle piece only and the way it is cut up you have difficulty in matching there is nothing unique to help out if you get stuck You are working with two major colors and 2 minor colors only, the outside areas must be done first in order to fill in with the artichokes (main color) I have been doing puzzles many years , as much as 5,000 pieces but this puzzle was the worse I have had had to deal with and it took me a long period of time to finish it ( I was determined even though I wanted to throw it in the garbage) and I am very ashamed of myself for having take that much time I would never purchase another Galison again just because of their pieces and oh the size of them too
