If the object having its backgroundPattern set is the card or stack,
proper alignment can depend on the specifics of the image. For example,
if the image has a mask inset from the image bounds, setting the
backgroundPattern will cause the tiling to begin with the image's
topLeft, which can result in a misaligned placement when it gets tiled
within the object.
Using a separate object like a graphic would help, though for reasons I
don't fully understand I've found no other method of displaying images
that render as quickly button icons.
