You can even make it larger in width, although it's not recommended.

Take a look at the new ImageTile control from the free Coding4Fun Toolkit for Windows Phone.

Basically ImageTile is an UI component that looks like the well known "People" tile from the phone. It shows a set of images that are animated with either fade, flip or none effect.

Here is a getting started tutorial: Getting Started with the Coding4Fun toolkit ImageTile Control

Hope this helps.
