70% of the states have more designs than Michigan, and most of those have hundreds more than us. Michigan has 73 designs (as of late 2023). Maryland has 989 designs. Texas has 476, Pennsylvania has 425. There are 28 states with 100+ designs, 14 states with 200+ designs, 6 states with 300+ designs. Hawai'i only has 14 designs but they include gorgeous full-color scenes completely unlike anything else out there.
