The blue piece is 10x10. I painted the board four times, drew a grid, used a template for the circles and then added the dots.
The other piece, which is beige (14x14), required taping and drawing the cross and the square on point. I did end up needing a compass for the larger circles. I am learning so much. I really don't use acrylics so finding out that you need more than a 1/8th inch amount of paint on the brush is the first step. Also, one needs to work from the center out. So it is wise to have the design pretty thought out.

Thank you, Sandra, this is most helpful. I've done a teeny bit of playing with acrylics and was thinking of designing something for my new baby granddaughter. I love your designs and choice of colors.
Beautiful, well thought out designs. I like the idea of the puff paint, too! It adds a bit of whimsy.
Lovely designs. Look forward to seeing where you go with the acrylics.
Love them dots! I like the new direction =)
Acrylic and PUFF paint?! I've got to hand it to you -- definitely a new direction. Have fun and I'll enjoy seeing whatever you make. You always impress me. --Carol Leigh
