Articles for applying color on a surface that includes a sheet of dry color component having a margin, a front sheet surface, and a rear sheet surface opposite the front sheet surface, and an adhesive on the rear sheet surface for bonding the sheet to the surface. Either the margin of the sheet or the entire sheet is adapted for reducing or eliminating the visual perceptibility of the seam created when the margin is positioned in an overlapping, abutting, or spaced apart relationship with a margin of a juxtaposed second article. The reduction or elimination of the visual perceptibility of the seam may be promoted by a physical mechanism, a chemical mechanism, an optical mechanism, or a combination of these mechanisms.

The present invention provides a bib having a relatively high Notched Tear Resistance in combination with a relatively low Circular Bending Stiffness. The relatively high Notched Tear Resistance reduces the ability of an infant wearer to tear off a piece of the bib when a bib has been punctured (e.g. by biting). The relatively low Circular Bending Stiffness provides a soft, drapable bib which is comfortable to the wearer.
