Cute

Lovely!

Sorry, I gave up

I think this is the hardest puzzle I've done on this site so far. Surprisingly difficult for such a small grid. Needed always to look and think five ways at once to figure out next logical step.

Tough to get started, but worthwhile. Thanks.

Very cute!

Cute, happy and challenging. Thank you.

I agree, a challenging puzzle, despite the statistics.

Thank you, Petrz.

Sweet;but I used the help function...

Very tough, but cute!

Difficult but amazingly cute.

Good one, thanks.

amazing: a tricky challenge, a cute picture, and lovely use of such a small space all in one!

All pretty logical but challenging nevertheless.
The outcome is rewarding. Nice!

cutest picture ever!

Very nice - thank you :))

The top half was tough... The bottom half was hellish :D

nice design, a bit tricky, thanks

Wow -- agree with all of the responses above, but if everyone else found it so difficult too, why is my time so much worse than the average? Oh well -- nice puzzle, nice challenge!

All the white spaces makes this challenging, but really love the result. Thanks for sharing

very challenging :)

The outcome is rewarding. Thank you, Petrz!

Tricky. I solved the upper part keeping in mind that the black wasn't some random pattern but the outline - this was guesswork, but it helped. Afterwards the lower part was doable, but still tricky.

Cute picture, but disproportionate.

Great challenge, thank you! Clever use of the four colours including the white.

So hard

Brilliantly designed! A fun challenge with a lovely picture at the end :)

Very tough

The picture was worth the struggle!

Not difficult, cute, thank's

Not too difficult. Enjoyable, and has nice image. Thanks
