Thank you that is very helpful Kayleigh! I must just have something odd with the texture I was trying to use on the second collar test. Earlier on, I created a test with a little hole in the middle and it is just about where your little spot is on your pix!!

I am motivated now to try again, now that I know there is a pattern!! Thanks again!!
