http://www.flabell.com/flash/Magnifying-Glass-Effect-218
This free Flash file from Flabell allows users to magnify areas of an image. You can define the image path (image of any size), the display area size as well as the lens size in XML or HTML. The image is automatically resized to fit the entire display area, and this is the minimum zoom of the image. The large image is the maximum zoom of the image. Through the lenses the user can see the image at the highest resolution, without the need to wait for a different image to load.

You can tweak your clouds with different fonts, layouts, and color schemes. The images you create with Wordle are yours to use however you like. You can print them out, or save them to the Wordle gallery to share with your friends.
