Thank you for the very detailed tutorial. I have several family members who love jigsaw puzzles and would be thrilled by family videos including this. Once we get done with repairs from flooding I think I'll do one for a niece with the pieces of her family coming together =)
That's a fantastic idea! I'm really glad you found it helpful and I would welcome a chance to see what you create for the family videos. Happy blending! Cheers!!
