Hi there!
Right now in your project you have multiple images, but they’re all saved as individual images.
It sounds likes you’re wanting to use the Tiled Mosaic type of Gallery like the one seen here:
To do this, follow these instruction to Add a New Gallery. Add your desired images into that Gallery, then select Tiled Mosaic as the Type:

Hi, Yes I want a mosaic and I have seen this link that you suggest. It works if I create out of a project. How can i do it in a project?
The other difference is that I am not adding images, I am adding image links. So far, it works as i want except for the way it is displayed.

Galleries work the same way in Projects as in Posts or Pages. While in the project editor, click “Add Media” then “Create Gallery.” You’ll then need to upload images or select images out of your current media library.

This is the main issue for your troubles, I think. Galleries cannot use images added with “Image from URL,” only those hosted in your media library. That’s just the way the Gallery function is built.
That Tiled Mosaic option is only available as a Gallery, so unless you can upload those images to the media library I’m afraid you’ll only be able to add the images individually. You could then style their presentation with inline styles if you’re comfortable with using CSS.

Project is looking good! Great job. :)

Hmmm, that one may not be as easily accomplished, depending on what you want to do.
It is not possible to create or install plugins on WordPress.com, for security reasons. Plugins can only be installed on self-hosted WordPress.org blogs.
If you are wondering how WordPress.com differs from WordPress.org, this support article explains the distinction:
You can adjust some elements using the :hover selector in CSS, though:

Thank you Alex. I was confused with .com and .org, so it will help, and….well… it sounds like, want it or not, I will learn CSS.
