KAREN ROSSI TEAMS UP WITH GREAT AMERICAN PUZZLE FACTORY

WINDSOR LOCKS, Conn. - World-renowned artist and designer, Karen Rossi, is partnering with Great American Puzzle Factory. A fitting match, Rossi's fun and fanciful designs will become part of Great American Puzzle Factory's prismatic and playful jigsaw puzzle line.

With the joining of Rossi and Great American Puzzle Factory, exciting multi-functional products are yielded: products that serve as both enjoyable games and captivating pieces of artwork. Two of Rossi's most popular prints, featuring figures from her whimsical Fanciful Flights™ collection, will serve as images for the 1000-piece puzzles: "Love Las Vegas" and "I Love NY."

"Love Las Vegas" captures a hot night in Las Vegas as several Fanciful Flights cruise the strip and see the sights. Created as part of Rossi's "Women Around the World" series, this print exhibits the excitement of the city in her signature style: the anticipation of the roulette table, the madness of a drive-thruwedding, and even an Elvis sighting.

"I Love NY," also created as part of Rossi's "Women Around the World" series, takes you on a grand tour of the city that never sleeps. From Wall Street to Broadway, by ferry, foot, or taxi, she shows all the sights that you would never have time to see in one afternoon. Rossi exhibits a great passion for the city in her distinctive technique, using bright colors and swirling icons to add a sense of whimsy to the chaos of the Big Apple.

In similarly inventive vein, Great American Puzzle Factory creates lively and innovative products directed at a wide and diverse audience, spanning all ages, areas of interest, and levels of difficulty. This nationally recognized company has received numerous awards for their entertaining and educational products, including the National Parenting Publications Award, the Parent's Choice Approved honor and the Dr. Toy 100 Best Children's Products Award.

Both Rossi and the Great American Puzzle Factory are based in Connecticut. Rossi began creating her unique metal "short stories" in 1987 in her Connecticut studio. This artistic union in New England is sure to produce puzzles that will become nationally known, appreciated, and enjoyed. These exciting products are scheduled for release in January of 2004.
