The challenge at Dies R Us is called Summertime Fun. What could be more fun than a ride in a balloon? Every time I see a hot air balloon the lyrics to Up Up and Away... goes live in my head. I am sure some of my blogging buddies are old enough to remember that 60's song. I did some paper piecing to create the red and blue balloons, added a sun, some clouds, and rolling hills. I felt it was missing something to ground it so I added a sentiment with letters cut from IO alphabet die.
