A disposable absorbent article (10) including an interior design signal indicating absorbency (See Figures 5 and 6) and an absorbent core (14) including first and second absorbent layers (60, 62), the first absorbent layer including a first substrate (64) and the second absorbent layer including a second substrate (72), the first and second absorbent layers further including absorbent particulate polymer material (66, 74) deposited on the first and second substrates and thermoplastic material (68, 76) covering the absorbent paniculate polymer material on the respective first and second substrates, the first and second absorbent layers combined together such that at least a portion of the thermoplastic material of the first absorbent layer contacts at least a portion of the thermoplastic material of the second absorbent layer, the absorbent particulate polymer material is disposed between the first and second substrates in an absorbent particulate polymer material area, and the absorbent particulate polymer material is substantially continuously distributed across the absorbent particulate polymer material area.[Fig. 5]
