{"product_id":"red-cardinal-wooden-puzzle","title":"Red Cardinal Wooden Puzzle","description":"\u003cp\u003eA bright red cardinal sits on a branch surrounded by deep crimson roses and soft green leaves. Orange and blue butterflies drift around him. The forest behind glows pale blue with a soft mist. He looks calm and watchful, almost like a small flame standing still inside a quiet garden. The Red Cardinal Wooden Puzzle brings that scene to your table for a calm, rewarding build.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout This Design\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis round wooden puzzle shows a single red cardinal perched on a flowering branch, framed by full-bloom roses and fluttering butterflies. The bird sits at the center, his scarlet body sharp and clear against a misty blue forest. Red and pink roses crowd the lower half of the circle, with green leaves curling between them. Orange monarchs and one small blue butterfly hover near the branches. The whole scene feels like a peaceful morning in a country garden, just before the day warms up. When the round puzzle clicks together, the cardinal becomes the steady center of a soft, blooming world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy People Love the Red Cardinal Wooden Puzzle\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBird watchers, gardeners, and anyone who keeps a feeder by the kitchen window adore this design. In many homes, cardinals carry a quiet meaning of a loved one watching over you, which gives this puzzle a gentle emotional layer. As you build, look for the whimsy pieces hidden in the artwork: a tiny butterfly wing, a single rose bud, a small feather, and a curling vine leaf are tucked into the border. Each one is a sweet little detail. It is the kind of puzzle people quietly tear up over when they finish it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePremium Craftsmanship in Every Piece\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Red Cardinal Wooden Puzzle is cut from 4mm basswood plywood, the same warm, light wood we use across our whole range. Basswood holds its shape over years and does not bend or fray the way cardboard does. Each piece is laser-cut, so the edges are crisp and the click between pieces is firm. The art is printed straight onto the wood with UV-cured inks, which means the deep cardinal red, rose crimson, and soft forest blues stay rich even in a sunny room. The puzzle ships in a sturdy gift box with a printed cover so it doubles as the storage between builds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: 4mm basswood plywood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShape: Round, cut from a rectangular panel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrint: UV-cured, fade-resistant inks printed directly on the wood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDifficulty: Level 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinished size and pieces, by size option:\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eKids: 18 cm \/ 7.1 in diameter, 106 pieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSmall: 24 cm \/ 9.4 in diameter, 198 pieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eMedium: 33 cm \/ 13 in diameter, 246 pieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eLarge: 39.5 cm \/ 15.6 in diameter, 454 pieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePieces: irregular shapes with hidden whimsy pieces themed to the design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePackaging: recyclable gift box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncluded: full-color reference poster to guide assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eA Thoughtful Gift for Bird Lovers And Grieving Hearts\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a tender gift for a bird watcher, a grandmother who feeds the cardinals, or a friend grieving someone they love. The cardinal carries quiet comfort in many families. It suits birthdays, sympathy gifts, Mother's Day, and the early winter holiday season. The Small slips onto a bedside table or memory shelf, while the Large makes a thoughtful living-room centerpiece. People often choose it as a memorial gift when they want something gentle, not heavy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Assembly Experience\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Red Cardinal is rated Level 3. The cardinal's bright red body and dark eye are the natural starting anchors, since they sit at the strongest contrast in the design. The middle stretch is the surrounding roses, where similar reds and pinks ask for steady sorting. The slow finish is the misty blue forest background, where soft tones blur into one another. Most builders finish the Small in one focused sitting, the Medium across a weekend or two, and the Large over several relaxed evenings. A full-color reference poster ships in the box, which helps when the rose petals and the background mist start to look alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to Display or Store It\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce the round panel is complete, slide a thin sheet of card under it before lifting. A round white or soft cream frame keeps the focus on the cardinal's bright red. It suits a living room wall, a memory shelf, a kitchen near the window where real birds visit, or a bedroom that needs a calm focal point. Hang it where morning light can warm the panel and the red will almost hum. Over time it becomes more than a project. It becomes a small daily visit from a bird who chose to stay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Opus Puzzles","offers":[{"title":"Kids","offer_id":44402351276083,"sku":"YXY207-KID","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Small","offer_id":44383154143283,"sku":"YXY207-S","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Medium","offer_id":44383154176051,"sku":"YXY207-M","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Large","offer_id":44383154208819,"sku":"YXY207-L","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0676\/3292\/2675\/files\/YXY207.webp?v=1780552943","url":"https:\/\/www.opuspuzzles.com\/products\/red-cardinal-wooden-puzzle","provider":"Opus Puzzles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
