Oh my!
This is very close to the effect I wanted. I shall be spending a while
teasing apart your illusion include to work out how you have done it. I
hope I can build on what you've done and return the favor one day. Thank

Wonderful and incredibly informative site, by the way.
I've signed up for your updates. :)

Best wishes,
