Beach Days Collage - 500 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle (Cobble Hill)

This one's a collector's cabinet of seaside bits and pieces rather than a single scene. A red Adirondack chair waits under a striped umbrella, a bucket of shells sits ready for sorting, and a lighthouse stands watch over a cardinal and a bluebird sharing a nesting box. Along the bottom a pelican eyes up a sea turtle, while a run of sandpipers scuttles across the sand up top.

Each panel is bordered like a little postcard, which makes this a nice one for building in sections rather than tackling the whole board at once. Start with the lighthouse square, or the shell bucket, and work outwards.

The scattering of shells and starfish across the black background ties the whole thing together, so leave those until last once the framed pictures are in place.
