============================================================
This traditional red, white and blue map is one of our most requested. Both the land and water areas have a texture on them. This map can be customized to display any countries or states you would like joined by a sweet dotted line heart or no line if you prefer. All parts of this map can be customized ( special locations, colors, names/dates, quotes ).

DESIGN IDEAS :::::::::::::
Each map is fully customized to your story. You may choose from a variety of map formats (World Map, USA map, North America, individual countries or states, etc). Highlight as many places as you like. Choose the colors for your map from our custom color chart, describe what you need for colors or you may request the colors from the sample images. Select your preferred letting style from our chart.
** At checkout, you will need to copy and paste the design questions under the TO ORDER section below, into the NOTE TO SELLER along with your answers and any additional design requests.

TIP: If you are considering a canvas, we highly recommend selecting our Pearlescent canvas options to give the map a lovely shimmer effect. This is a popular choice for weddings!
