Creating this text color contrast effect as it crosses the boundary of another object

[Acorn]

Why so difficult? Two text line, one placed beneath the intended bitmap, and one above with an outline. Soft grouped. You can move them around and the effect will follow. If you want to change the text you can do so by using the find/replace option

Michael thanks. Identical to Egg's Post#3. Egg Cloned. You Soft-grouped.
