Can you put pickup rings over a pickguard?

Painting? Routing? Set-up tips? Or just straight-up making a guitar from scratch? Post here, and post pics!

They hide the botched dremel holes perfectly. I ended up drilling the pickguard with a bit just a little smaller than the diameter of the mounting screws, and they are holding the rings quite solidly. Easier than I thought, no big deal in fact!
