The line "return region" ends script execution. For the script to go on, you need to delete that line. But, after that, there are some additional problems and superfluous stuff in the program. The code below has those issues fixed and should do what you want.
I see that Santa has also responded, but you'll see some differences between his code and mine. Comparing the two versions might give you some additional insights into AppleScript.
