unexplodable block

jdfnnl — Wed, 22 Feb 2023 07:31:28 GMT

I created a block from a tiff image. Reason being is that images seem to jump on top of other objects at certain junctures and turning objects into blocks can help to retain drawing order. This image however I am unable to explode back from being a block to an image.
