I guess I was thinking from an HTML perspective of adding an image within a
div and how the div grows automatically to contain the image.  I can
understand not clipping, but it seems counter-intuitive that a "superlayer"
can contain something larger than itself and not "grow" in response.  I'm
still getting used to this method of doing things, so it might take a while
to understand the alternative perspective. :)

Thanks again for the help!
