Assuming MC pays for the bricks, plus something extra, this might be a fun

I suspect an image of a card won't be to technically challenging to do (Todd's
Mosaic generator seems a good place to start to get the colors under control)
but will be a fair bit of work due to the size. I would think a single layer
of bricks would be a bad idea. Some kind of thicker structure would be needed
to give rigidity.
