This card was made with 2 different challenges in mind. I was first drawn to the balloons because of Crafty Catz http://craftycatzweeklychallenge.blogspot.com/. Their challenge# 234 is "Inspired by a Song". I thought of "Up, Up and Away" by the 5th Dimension. When I started to color the larger balloon, the decorations reminded me of patriotic buntings, so I thought that I would color it red, white and blue and enter it into the challenge for Simply Create Too http://simplycreatetoo.blogspot.com/. Their challenge # 63 is "Celebrate Your Country". I included a music sheet for the song which I printed out from the internet. Hope you like this.
