Technique challenge - balloon backgrounds. Since I didn't have any large balloons, I substituted a portion of a plastic bag filled with some long beaded necklaces. Inks used are cool caribbean and vintage violet. I couldn't find my clear buttons, so I made a fake one from a circle punched from a transparency sheet. The rick rack was light blue heavily sponged with eggplant.

I like the effect of the neclace; I tried to use birthday candles in the balloon but it didn't turn out. I may try putting the candles in a plastic baggie next time. I ended up using my daughter's "Nerds' candy. Your colors are nice also!
