    Workflow Steps

    4. Fetching Images: Each follower's profile image is fetched and prepared for further processing.
    5. Resize Images: The images are resized to 200x200 pixels.
    6. Crop Images: The images are then cropped into circular shapes and combined with a background (if specified).
    7. Resize for Final Use: The cropped images are resized again to 75x75 pixels for integration into the banner.
    8. Merge Images: The final images are merged together to create a cohesive banner design.
    9. Fetch Background Image: A background image is fetched for the banner.
    10. Edit Image: The background and resized follower images are composited to create the final banner.
    11. Upload to Twitter: Finally, the completed banner is uploaded to the user's Twitter profile using the Twitter API.
