By adding the word "Doodle" in our titles, does that give us the ability to lower the quality of the image for it is only a "doodle"?

Definitely was just a rough image... Would have to keep working with it... The graphics suck because I gave up on it after no feedback.

one of the great things about Doodle is how the names are wrong.

how would a 6 year old label the different parts of the US?

Thought GO was referring to Cont Bonuses... Listed out below the map image is what I already had.

Just to post in case it was missed...
New Mexico- Mexico
Dakota's and Carolina's are combined without N&S
Arkansas- Ourkansas
Kansas- Theirkansas

Multiple misspellings to go along with other states.

Maine= Main
Michigan= the state shaped like a hand
Pennsylvania= Pencilvania
Maryland = mary's land
Rocky Mountain's = Rock candy mountains
Nevada = Grandma's vacation
Washington = Washing Machine
Florida = Floorida
Missouri = Misery
