I don't think so.  If the graphics are large, and the user has to move them
around the card, there might be some slowness when dragging them around.

You can modify pixels of an image, but maybe it would be less complicated to
overlay a colored overlay object where you want it and create a new snapshot
to apply as the backgroundPattern.
