I found this a while back when I was looking up Gaussian Curves:

It might be relevant.

I made one of these a few years back for a light above my desk at school. When I have time, I will get a die-cut made and chop out 120 of the pieces and make a much larger piece. Very fun and easy gto make.

Did you say 120 pieces? That doesn’t sound easy!

Why is this digital picture so pockmarked with dirty flecks? I thought that only happened with film cameras.

    Because this is a picture of a lamp that was hanging outdoors and, thus, was quite dirty!
