As afar as I can tell, one can't grow an image.
& you don't need to duplicate the member (time & memory expensive) -
just peel off a copy of the image
newImage = member("square").image.duplicate()
(this image will have a rect (0,0,15,15 & it can't grow)
Are you trying to take the image of the text & shrink it into 15x15?
if so, then change your copyPixels to use the above rect as it's second param.
If you are trying to palce these two images into a single image, then
you should define a new image big enough to hold both & use two
copyPixels to position them within it & then make a new bitmap member
& save this new image back into this new member.
this is probably the important command that you hadn't found
newImage = image(width, height, depth)
