The real question is why are you concerned with this? In what

could also add the word mosaic to your conundrum.

Well, the rather embarrassingly mundane impetus for the word
was the conundrum of how to describe these "things" that I
recently created in order to help others clean toilet bowls.

Are those "things" (created for alt.home.repair earlier this
week), duly named collages, montages, or mosaics?

To me - an former photographer - they are montages because they form a
continuous whole.

If I printed each image individually and pasted them up they would be a
collage. It is a continuous whole but made of obviously separate elements
which could be separated into individual elements again.

If I made tiles of various sizes, shapes and colors and formed them into
your image I would call it a mosaic.
