What are those pictures that are made up of tinier pictures called?
And don't say collage, because that's not it. Please help.

Thanks to both of you for the help. Mosaics, as it turns out, was closest (thanks so much). The actual term, I just realized, are called photomosaics. Montages worked too. Thanks so much!

The actual term is photo-montage. Mosaic is no where close to the right answer. Mosaics are images or designs made of small tiles or pieces of tile, glass or stone.
To be more specific a collage is made by cutting out pieces of paper, or photographs and arranging the pieces on a substrate, such as poster board. A photo-montage is where one creates an image using more than one negative, and printing the combination onto one sheet of print paper. Not to be confused with a doubled exposure, where the film itself has more than one image on the frame, and then is simply printed.
