Can flower charts be any uglier?

 Every church I have seen that has less than 700 in worship each week has what is known as a "flower chart".  These are charts that have lines in which you fill in the date and then people sign up to underwrite the cost of the flowers that week for worship.  Most people buy these flowers in 'honor' or 'memory' of someone, and some of the slots are filled up.  However, there are always weeks in which no one signs up.  I think it is in part because no one wants to walk up and put their name on these disgusting looking charts. (see below)

And so, for the love of all that is good and holy, I will be willing to pay up to $20 for a flower chart that does not look like it belongs in my grandmother's basement or on a kindergarten bulletin board.
