Hmmm, maybe it is an optical illusion.

See the illusion posing "Which is the longest line?" at this link.

Most of the decos and stores have a border of green grass making them look smaller, but the clown store occupies all of its footprint, making it look quite big.

Still looks 4x4 to my beadie eyes though.

Here is a quick work-up of the effect.



I added the vertical lines which usually are not shown - since they make it clear the two lines have the same length - although they somewhat undermine the strength of the illusion.
