Entmake a block with an existing attribute?

[Hopeless Turtle]

I'm trying to create a block with an annotative attribute. It took several days to figure out but I have an annotative attribute with all the scales I need added thru objectscale. Now I need to put the block around it, essentially a rectangle. I have created that block as well, separately, it's pretty standard entmake block stuff. I don't know how I can include the attribute in the blocks creation and still add the scales. How can I merge the attribute into the block? Here's the code for the attribute:

(entmake (list
          '(0 . "ATTDEF")
          '(8 . "0")
           (cons 10 (list 0.0 0.0 0.0))
          '(40 . 0.09375)
          '(41 . 1.0)
          '(72 . 4)
          '(73 . 2)
           (cons 1 label)
          '(7 . "Annotative")
           (cons 3 label)
           (cons 2 label)
          '(70 . 2)
          '(-3
            ("AcadAnnotative"
              (1000 . "AnnotativeData")
              (1002 . "{")
                (1070 . 1)
                (1070 . 1)
              (1002 . "}")
            )
          )
        )
      )
      (setq labelAtt (entlast))
      (command "-objectscale" labelAtt "" "_a" "1/32\" = 1'-0\"" "1/16\" = 1'-0\"" "3/32\" = 1'-0\"" "1/8\" = 1'-0\""
              "3/16\" = 1'-0\"" "1/4\" = 1'-0\"" "3/8\" = 1'-0\"" "1/2\" = 1'-0\"" "3/4\" = 1'-0\"" "1\" = 1'-0\""
              "1 1/2\" = 1'-0\"" "")

 

That last bit where I add the scales is what stops me from including it in the block's creation.

Did you look at a Mtext attribute so can have a text mask turned on.

 

Putting a box around can have problems when you change the text string and make longer or shorter text.

I'm doing more than just a box around text, I said essentially a box to give an idea as to what I'm working with. I'm using an attribute so it maintains it's orientation so MText won't work unless there's a secret I don't know about. All I need is some code to take the attribute and merge it into the block. Lee's block merge worked but I'm not sure how to trim his code down to just merge this into that.
