Foppen Graphic for Pasting on a 1.5-Inch Disc

This is for the folks who created their own Disc Dominion, and have (a) a 1 3/8-inch paper punch, (b) a spare 1.5-inch wooden disc, and (c) a DIY copy of the game. Print out the graphic onto label stock, punch out the two Foppens, and stick them on both sides of the disc. Voila! You now have a Foppen disc!
