You can see a few where I got interesting results but the form factor was limiting. I used the same terms but changed the size, so it was more of a cash size and shape.

I looked around and noticed that we can change the height and width and then we were cooking with gas. How will I use these? Maybe as subject dividers in blog posts or maybe as strange stickers I give my friends who are playing in that game with me. I’m really not sure.

Now we’re talking.

If you dig the above images, there are stickers for sale and all artists’ proceeds go to the National Network of Abortion Funds (and then Threadless tosses in some more).
