Two curious children are looking with wide-eyed wonder at a large, open book. On the page, a beautiful red, white, and blue hot air balloon is displayed, with a basket attached to the bottom. The kids excitedly point out the balloon, discussing what they would color it. The possibilities are endless! To make the hot air balloon really stand out, you could make the red areas a true, vibrant red and the white a brilliant white. Toast the sky blue sections and the blues in the sky with various blues and blue-grays to make a relaxing atmosphere. Add stars to the sky with a lighter gray and make the basket look sturdy with a medium brown or gray. With your imagination, you can make this hot air balloon fly!
