  4. Great emotions on the character and the transparancy of the balloons is right on! I've been around "aggressive" balloons before. Kinda wierd!

  24. So beautiful, the balloons are a cheer (just like the glow in the dark).
    Simple but so cool and appealing.
    I really love your great idea & technique for smiley green balloons against the dark black background.
    I can feel a great sense of emotion here-just like the evil & the good.....
