Assemble and save - Ice Cream sundae

I had never known about saving a puzzle and having it on display until I saw one in an office at work many years ago.  I was happy to see this because I was always disappointed as a kid when disassembling a puzzle.  So, some years later, I purchased this ice cream puzzle from the Dollar Tree and was excited knowing I could save and frame it.  I don't remember the title of the puzzle and the brand could be Puzzlebug, but I didn't have any issues with the quality of it.  The puzzle size is approximately 8 3/4 x 11 1/4".  After I assembled the puzzle, I coated the top of it with puzzle glue.  Then I searched for framing options and bought a Timeless Frames 9x12 open back frame from A.C. Moore, a photo mat and foam core board.  After several adjustments to get the pieces to fit, I layered all the components together to create a fun little framed puzzle.  I like the natural wooden frame and think it looks fine unpainted.  It's not perfect but I'm happy with how it turned out.
