Want to draw attention to handful of key metrics? Try wrapping your key metrics with a
peekaboo banner. The banner shown in Figure 23.16 goes beyond boring text labels, allow-
ing you to create the feeling that a banner is wrapping around your numbers. Again, this
effect is achieved by layering a few Excel shapes so that they fall nicely on top of each
other, creating a cohesive effect.
