Those were all really easy. The only slightly challenging one was the first one, and even then THAT was easy. It's a good idea, but needs work. Should be more of a challenge!
I did It That was fun. I was going to give up on "group" teasers, now I'll try another. Txs for the encouragement
Good one. Although I didn't get the football one. I don't know anything about sports
Fun and entertaining teaser. I got 5 out of 6 - missed spider.
