Claim One:
1. A multilayer sheeting with a 3D floating image, comprising: at least one layer of microlenses, the layer having first and second sides; a multilayer material disposed adjacent the first side of the layer of microlenses, wherein the multilayer material comprises multiple adjacent layers having X-Y planar positions and a Z-direction orthogonal to the X-Y planar positions; individual images formed in the multilayer material associated with the plurality of the microlenses, wherein the individual images contrast with the material, wherein the individual images comprise connected elements at interfaces between the multiple layers and conjunction elements between the connected elements, and wherein the connected elements are registered in the Z-direction at the X-Y planar positions in the interfaces between the layers; and a composite image, provided by the individual images, that appears to unaided eye to be three-dimensional and floating above or below the sheeting, or both.
