Abstract

A personal identification label includes a child-friendly image, scene or illustration on an iron-on label. The image depicts scenes, such as a rabbit in a field, dinosaurs walking through the woods, a horse jumping over a wall, or a dalmatian in front of a fire truck, for example. In any of the scenes depicted on the label, a fingerprint receiving space is left blank on the label and is contained entirely within the depicted scene or image. This special fingerprint receiving area is designed to include a fingerprint of a child. Once the fingerprint of the child is placed in the specific fingerprint receiving area in the scene, image or illustration depicted on the label, the lines of the fingerprint form an image which visually blends into the overall scene, illustration, or image for example, printed on the label.
