Aspen Red Forest, hand-made entirely with MS Excel 2007

Last week, I shared a pixel art piece I created using MS Paint, and I was truly grateful for the warm response from the community 💖 This time, I took on a new challenge, creating a fully animated pixel art scene using only Microsoft Excel 2007. Yes, Excel! Over the past week, I manually filled 320x200 cells, across 20 sheets, using just 9 colors. I then compiled 20 screenshots into a GIF to showcase the animation. The final artwork exists solely as a Microsoft Office Excel 2007 (.xlsx) file.

Meet Pando, not a forest but a single tree. Every trunk of the Quaking Aspen is genetically identical & connected by a single 80,000 year old root system, making it one of the largest and oldest living entities on Earth!

Pando, a quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides) in Utah. Though this looks like a forest of many trees, each tree is a genetically identical 'clone' of the mother tree, all belonging to the same 14,000 year old root system. Pando is one of the largest and longest living organisms in the world.
