Unfortunately my skill at programming far outweighs my artistic
talent. If anyone artistically superior to me (i.e. just about anyone)
would like to donate some colouring-in type artwork then I would be
more than happy to incorporate them. The reason I chose Dora is that
my eldest daughter is pretty crazy about her. Dora DVD's, Dora
clothes, Dora toys, etc. It seemed fairly obvious what would appeal to
her.  ;-)

The images I am using in the program can be found on several web sites
for download/printing purposes. So whether this makes the situation
better or worse I'm not sure (I'm no lawyer).

If anyone has a problem with me using Dora in my game, I will remove
the link and look at public-domain alternatives. However, I imagine
that these will not be as popular.

cheers,
