Heat map in Excel, conditional formatting based in cell inputs

Okay, so i have a table in Excel as shown in c5-h10 below (a heat map). Column C and Row 10 are like the X and Y axis, giving the total max scores.
Cell C3 is a multiple of frequency and severity.

My goal is to have the result '10' in cell H8 showing as a darker boarder cell, and potentially with some extra working in it (without getting rid of the number). That wording can be the same no matter what the 'total' is. So I was thinking maybe there is some way to make a picture and move it around my cells? Or some advanced conditional formatting? Or maybe even making a Graph and having the point move around as a scatter plot input, with the background as a picture showing my numbers?
- I think that last option sounds best, but I have no idea, any suggestions?
