The funny thing is, once you've seen them you can't UN-see them. Thanks for posting.

Looked at it for several seconds... suddenly the circles popped into view, and now there's no getting rid of them.

If I remember right I dropped my phone or my tablet while I was looking at it and when I reached out and caught it, I saw it.

Now I can't not see it.
