No, we understand, but I have no solution within IM.

Hi Tiffany,
How many different small bird images did you use?
There are actually ways of doing some similar things using IM if you're willing to do a fair bit of programming. I think something is certainly possible using PerlMagick, for example.
I've also seen some graphics programs (e.g., PaintShop Pro) that allow for drawing using a "brush" consisting of an alternating family of images.

This can be a very tricky thing to do. I don't think it is juat a matter of substituting a brush, as teh fonts are not drawn in that way.
More it is a matter of trying to get a list of points (center of circles) that can give a rough representation of an area of color.

Right --- a brush approach works in a graphics program like PSP, if you do the drawing "by hand", the turning, etc., because your brain is good at following lines. That part would be hard to program (but not impossible using edge detection and such). Finding positions for birds to achieve appropriately averaged color is, on the other hand, very doable.
