Nice suggestion. Pieces are 60x60, and cards 150x250. I unfortunately could not get property sheets to work (posted a couple of weeks ago on this). We could definitely move some date to the property sheets, though this would be text label data, not anything on the images itself. No idea if it would help, but good to know that option might arise.
