Cool! But that's actually not a cross-eyed stereogram. What you've got
there is a relax-eyed (or parallel-eyed or free-viewing) stereogram, meaning
that if you cross your eyes, you'll see the 3D effect backwards and it'll
look very strange. Instead, let your eyes relax (focus at infinity). Then
it looks beautiful!
BTW, if you break the image into two halves, then you can easily present
two alternative views, to let people choose which method (cross-eyed or
relax-eyed) they're most comfortable with. Here's an example:
I was messing around with my digital camera this evening and produced a somewhat sucessful sterogram (I think that's what it's called). It's a 3D image of a catapault.
