After a little trimming WOW2=:_5}."1 WOW the cube pattern looks great. It's a 4x3 image. Now I can rewrite WOW.
It survived the more to jqt and JHS gracefully.

I have been looking at little squares of color so long that I sometimes see rectangles! I keep holding back from giving up on blending colors, and am slow to tackle your approach, but Mike Day seems to be enjoying it.

In JHS the advantage I that my pattern is all squared. I can cut and paste it into word and then print additional text with the actual images. Have you looked at your code in JHS?
