I got this little Diamond Dotz Christmas Tree for Christmas!
I'd drooled over DD15.016 Oh Christmas Tree, but it's like $150 and two feet by two feet with 55225 dotz, so thought maybe I should start with something a little smaller to start with.
This one has nine colours, although actually only six plus three different coloured "baubles".
The canvas for this one comes flat, which is nice (the bigger ones come rolled up)
My only real complaint with this set is the baubles are too big to fit in the space they're meant to sit in. I literally had to push the adjoining dotz aside to get it to lay on the canvas.
Finished!! Photos don't do justice to how it sparkles in the light

I started this on Christmas Day and finished on Boxing Day.
The adhesive is very strong, so it's a little less forgiving than the Crystal Creations koala I did - if you miss slightly aligning the dot it's harder to push it into the right spot.
There were also more dud dotz - dotz with extra bits of plastic spread out the sides, some concave ones etc.
Also, they don't use letters/numbers on the canvas - they use symbols instead. Which means you'd have to be constantly looking up which bag number matched which symbol. For this little one it's not really an issue, but it is for bigger ones.
Overall I thoroughly enjoyed it. Now to figure out how to frame the thing...
