   Good....it looks so darn familiar, that's what's killing me. Is it the watermark on the back of a check?

   good.. is it a piece of a design when people do cross stitching?

   not a watermark, it's printed on the side meant to be read.

   it has no relation to cross-stitch as far as I know. (I can't rule that out as the inspiration though.)

   I'm feeling like you ought to be calling me bad instead of good at the moment. <snicker>

   List of hints for GOODGOTD-#3:

   IT IS:
   1. he's sure we've seen it
   2. it is usually printed on paper
   3. Usually seen attached to things.
   4. section in the picture is often overlooked by many who see it.
   5. often tape is used on it
   6. these get applied
   7. often get moved around
   8. these are printed up for individual use
   9. the patten changes slightly
   10. hidden in plain sight might work
   11. businesses see more of them on average than households
   12. it's printed on the side meant to be read

   IT IS NOT:
   1. sweater from auntie Elsbeth
   2. cartoon cat
   3. Japan
   4. piece of paper at the beginning of a roll of cellophane tape
   5. tape you have to pull off of an ink cartridge

   Nope, this is out for all to see, not hidden at all. see 'em all over the world, never hidden. and read often, too.

   Nice list of is and ain't, too. though hidden in plain sight is a certainty, not might-be.

    This one isn't as common as it used to be, but still quite available...

    probably too easy, though.

    goodgotd = Wow, can't believe it! Got to admit that I showed the hubby the IS and IS NOT list and the pic and he said UPS label. So I guess I cheated. :(

    I did see this one.. looks like a pile of telephone extension cords

    nope, smaller than cassette tape. snarled up, isn't it?

    I figure once the wallpapers are visible, they're all fair game, (For all, since yours were- Very few are my work though a few of my shots might be good enough.) though I plan on deleting the old to make room for new ones after a while, sensible?

    You know, I've got a pile of bad cords tangled that bad, but that's not it.

    goodgotd - the hubby got that one too! He uses them at work to scrub all the stainless at the brewery.

    I'd sure hope he doesn't use plain steel- a little known fact: using carbon steel like a file on stainless can leave the areas of contact subject to corrosion and rusting from then on.

    Picked that up at an olive processing plant.

    makes for a nasty way to wreck the finish on a DeLorian, huh?

    goodgotd - The brewery has been in business since 1872. I think they know what they are doing. What do you think?

    It's the machine-readable part- who really looks at that?

    go grab some wallpaper anyway, just for playing, eh? this is supposed to be fun...

    I gotta ask, your username surely can't be related to the character in John Ringo's A Hymn Before Battle and Gust Front, right? (ok, he's woven through the whole series- virtually)
