Wordle Doodle Doo

I have just found a wonderful fun website which takes words you give it and created a wordle for you which you can use where ever you want as long as you say where you got it. I though this may be a good way of displaying things in an image for marketing etc. I have created some images and would appreciate comments.

You can find the images at our FourThinking Website
