The red is the paper. I wanted just the balloon part coming out of the frame - like it's slowly floating out of the frame. But ya, it might have been cooler the other way.
Thanks again, and thanks Blonde. I purposefully wanted all the text to be very different from one patch to the next. I felt with the type contained within the balloon it would only help reinforce the patchwork concept. That ended up being one of my favorite things about this. Not sure I get you on the top half and bottom half but maybe that's cuz I've been staring at this for too long.
