A second portion has a plurality of regions thereon, each region having indicia thereon representative of a middle section of face and including a pair of eyes; each representation in a given region bearing a unique representation from the representations of the other regions of the second portion. A third portion has a plurality of regions thereon, each region having indicia thereon representative of a lower section of the face and including a mouth; each representation in a given region bearing a unique representation from the representations of the other regions of the third portion. The second portion further comprises a first border which is complementary with a corresponding border on the first portion and a second border which is complementary with a corresponding border on the third portion.
