Graphics Challenge: Dingbats
This week's graphics challenge theme is Dingbats. With the great response to last week's text only challenge we thought it might be fun to do something kind of the same but a little different. This week we want you to use dingbats or wingdings--fonts that use pictures and symbols instead of normal type--to create an image. Use your imagination and have some fun with it!

All levels of users are welcome to participate. You can submit as many versions based on the theme as you like. Remember to try and keep your image sizes to 800x600 pixels or less, and 100kb or less.
