Hi,

you are nearle there, only some small mkodificatioin needed:

First make an empt array: g={};

then append your graphics to this array:

numel=3;

y=0;

For[i=1,i<=numel,i++,

     AppendTo[g,

    Show[Graphics[{Hue[0.55],Rectangle[{0,y},{4,y+1.5}],RGBColor[1,1,1], 

         Rectangle[{0.2,y+0.2},{3.8,y+1.3}]}],AspectRatio\[Rule]Automatic,

         ImageSize\[Rule]100]];y=y+2.5];

then combine the tthree plots into one:

g=Show[GraphicsArray[List/@ g]];

and export this:

Export["rectangles.bmp", g, ImageSize -> {150, 170}];
