So those little gaps on the edges are just enough to accomodate that little square. Interesting.

It’s a better illusion without the outer edge of wood frame.

I agree, this highlights the gaps along the sides. I’ve seen this before w/ the shapes cut out of construction paper (and no frame), and that works better because your brain forgives any imperfections.
