I think its brilliant. You know there are a lot of "accountant" types (me being one of them) on here - I think we all used only one side of our brain and now we need to use the other side - you're right it doesn't come easy but it sure is fun.

This works great if you plan on cutting them because it does leave a tack hole in the center. Please post photos.
