Florence, I love all your stars together. Some of them show up so differently with all of them together. I like the way you did Michigan, which I hadn't noticed before. I think I'll try that with Oklahoma, which I haven't done yet. One thing I have done, is open the picture in Paint, and then draw in different colored lines. It's a pretty rough technique, but might rule out some ideas. I did a couple of colors so you can see what I mean, but you can use the 'edit color' to get different shades.
