Ladana, thanks, it's a really nice model, I did some color changes on the png file, had some fun trying different things in there with GIMP. It really helped to make a wide variety of balloons. The only other thing that would have been nice is to have some different shapes (like during the balloon festival you see some really weird and cool balloon shapes)
This image came to mind, when I was playing around with some objects and I added the Balloon, and really liked it, and so I thought of doing a scene like this. I didn't get everything I'd wanted in it. My original thought was to be up pretty high in altitude, and having some cool looking landscape down below, maybe have a few wisps of clouds between the balloons. Anyways, this scene came first and so I was pretty happy with it.
