ParshaPix

The sedra begins with the command to take pure olive oil (upper-left) and use it to light the Menora (top-center) daily in the Mikdash, so that it will burn (at least) from evening until morning. 

The shell in the upper-right hand corner is Murex Trunculus, the snail which is thought, by a growing number of scholars and rabbis, to be the source of T'CHEILET, mentioned often in our sedra in connection to the garments of the Kohen Gadol. 

The gemstones under MT are for the CHOSEN. 3 of the 12 are shown here.
Of course, that's the Kohen Gadol on the bottom-left. This is one of Davka's Judaica Graphics (highly recommended for fine Jewish clipart).

The silhouettes of the bull and two adult male sheep (a.k.a. rams) are the inaugural korbanot of the kohanim. The matza represents the Mincha offerings that accompanied the animal sacrifices. Most, but not all, Menachot were halachically matza.

At the bottom are two lambs for the twice-daily T'MIDIM. Although the mitzva to bring the T'midim is learned from Parshat Pinchas, the T'midim are also mentioned here in T'tzaveh.

Above the lambs is the Golden Altar, a.k.a. the Incense Mizbei'ach and the Inner Altar. The command to make this Mizbei'ach does not appear in T'rumah with the rest of the main items of the Mishkan, but rather in T'tzaveh.

Which brings us to the shirt with the number 6 on it which is a KUTONET SHEISH. This is a play on words, sheish meaning both linen and the number 6. The linen "yarn" for the KUTONET was spun from 6 threads, so that the play on words is not only in this ParshaPix but in the Torah as well.
The shape top-left (between the Menora and the olive oil bottle top) is a dodecahedron. That's a geometric solid with twelve faces, each of which (in this example) is a pentagon. A dodecahedron with each face marked with the name of a month could have served as the PUR that Haman cast to determine in which month to carry out his plot. The regular dodecahedron is one of only 5 Platonic solids (meaning all faces and angles the same)

TTRIDDLES
The TTriddles page has been done on Davka Writer these past several weeks. More and more of TT will be switching over to that program. 
Last week's (T'RUMAH) TTriddles:

[1] THE PUNNY MATERIAL (page 5, column 2)
[2] The sense not directly involved with the main four (6/2)
[3] This week’s link to last week’s final pasuk (27/2)
[4] 1215 CT (or maybe 703.125 CT) (30/2)
[5] For serving Amaretto to how many? (BackPage IV, column 1)
[6] The only real you among the thous (IV/1)
[7] Unusual pasuk: ABCDEABCDEABCDEFDGHI (III/1)
[8] Mishkan Anatomy (II/1}

And here are the solutions...
[1] Linen. It is called SHEISH and for the fabric of the Mishkan, Parochet, Masach, and Masach of the Courtyard, each thread was made of 6 strands. (Or was it the strands that were made of 5 threads?) Either way, the name of the material is a play on words, or a pun.
[2] The “four” mentioned was not just the other four senses, but it refers to the four main items in the Mishkan (maybe the TTriddle should have been more explicit) - ARON, SHULCHAN, MENORA, MIZBEI’ACH HAZAHAV. Each one highlights one sense. Shulchan (Lechem HaPanim) - taste. Menora (light) - sight. Mizbei’ach (Incense) - smell. Aron (from between the two K’ruvim on the Kaporet the Voice of G-d was heard by Moshe - sound. The sense not directly involved with the main four items of the Mishkan was touch.
[3] The last pasuk in Mishpatim mentions the 40 days and 40 nights that Moshe spent on Har Sinai receiving the Torah. Baal HaTurim points out that the word T’RUMAH is made up of the letters MEM (forty) and TORAH.
[4] The ARON’s dimensions were 2.5 by 1.5 by 1.5 amot. Although an amah is usually six t’fachim. there is a dispute as to whether the amah of the Mikdash was 5 or 6 t’fachim. If it was 6, then the volume of the Aron was 1215 cubic t’fachim (CT). If, however, it was only 5 t’fachim, then the Aron’s volume would have been 703 and an eighth CT.
[5] Amaretto is an almond-flavored liqueur. The appropriate cups to serve amaretto would be G’VI’IM M’SHUKADIM (Sh’mot 25:33,34), meaning “decorated” cups. Commentaries say that the decoration was in the design of an almond flower, hence the term M’SHUkadim. There were three cups per branch of the Menora, that’s 18, and another 4 on the main stalk, for a total of 22 - which is how many people you can serve amaretto to.
[6] In the many commands to make the items for the Mishkan, the singular form V’ASITA is used. The only exception is the command to make the ARON, V’ASU is the plural form. (As is the general command to build the whole Mikdash.) So the Aron is the only real YOU among all the other THOUs.
[7] The unusual pasuk is 25:35, which has a 5-word phrase, repeated, and repeated again. The letters in the TTriddle represent distinct words. Check out the pasuk (and its almost-repeat in Vayaqhel).
[8] Many terms used in the building of the Mishkan are also parts of the body, hence Mishkan Anatomy. TZELA, side of the Aron, of the Mizbei’ach, and rib, PANIM, the face of the Menora, of the K’ruvim, the Lechem HaPanim, and face, PEI’OT, corners of the Shulchan, and sideburns, YAREICH, base of the Menora, side of the Mishkan, and thigh, KANEH, branches of the Menora, and esophagus, SAFAH, edge of the Mishkan’s covering section to which the loops and buttons were attached, and lip, RAGLAYIM, the legs of the Shulchan, and legs, ROSH, tops of the wall planks, and head, KAPOT, spoons (little shovels) of the Menora, and palms, KATEIF, the sides of the eastern face of the Mishkan enclosure on either side of the entrance, and shoulder, TA’B’OT, rings on various items for inserting the carrying poles, rings to connect wall planks, and cartilage rings around the windpipe. And, who said it was only human anatomy. K’NAFAYIM, wings (of the K’ruvim), and wings, KARNAYIM, corners of the Mizbei’ach, and horns. I’m sure I missed a few. Sol’n report & solver-acknowledgement elsewhere, I hope.
