The paper with dots on it was the Gator mask set. The dots were numbers I put on it to help me know when to put them down.

In all honesty guys, using Kenny's masks made this a real easy thing to do. The only thng that was required ws a bit of filling out to get it to match up after final assembly, and that was negligable. When I do the Bama I definitely will turn to Gator masks again
