STITCHED BALLOONS

Hello.
First rule of crafting: NEVER throw anything away.
I think I've had this embroidery thread for 25+ years!
I knew it would come in handy one day :o)

I'm playing along at the 

Inspired By Challenge

and, as usual, I have had to improvise.

I loved the decorations on the inspiration photo,

and I tried to create a honeycomb design on graph paper, 

that I could cross stitch,

but I just couldn't get it to work.

So, I went for bright, cheerful balloons instead.
