Sorry guys, I went out of town and haven't had a chance to update this! We could have a tie-breaking vote, but I'd say that we have two winners, so congratulations @Ds13 and @dukedishin!

Shoot me a PM with your addresses and I'll get another square made as soon as I can get the time!

Thanks to everyone for the participation!
