@casablanca Thanks Casablanca - Jackie's idea to do this has been really good. I think next year I might have an extra idea for each day - eg Mondays could always be a repetition pattern - the different ones might make that column really accentuate the red. Tuesdays might be all negative space - to offset the fussiness of the previous column. etc In the long run I think this might be easier and give a better overall result. What do you think? :)
