The chameleons are on 3.5", 4.5" & 5 7/8" - he's not so successful at
the smaller sizes (Tried to work on a curled up tail as well).  The
penguin, on the other hand, is quite successful at both 3.5" & 4.5".
Maybe its a metaphor for Linux fitting on embedded devices, but
openSUSE staying on the desktop/laptop ;-).

Gonna give it another go with a rectangular pattern I found - should
give me much more tail to work with; just need to find the right paper
in town now...
