Pattern Description:

I am old enough to remember that test pattern - and the station not broadcasting - screens that were on the tvs in the morning. When I was little and would wake up early to watch cartoons on Saturdays especially - Sundays had the older, not so cool cartoons like Gumby, Felix the Cat, the Rocky and Bullwinkle show, etc - but anyhooo.... some mornings I would get to the tv before the beginning of the broadcasting day and would get completely bummed out that the test pattern or the not broadcasting screen was displayed... but having said that, I can't resist a test pattern!

This Test Pattern Tv is a hapy design - and looks great if you add a face to the screen too!
I gave it a slightly higher difficulty level due to color changes however I feel that even an advanced beginner can take on a test pattern and bring it to life!
