Coming off from a balloon decoration background, I have always been a secret fan of colorful and lively children’s parties. This is, in fact, what a party for kids should be: all about fun! My client specifically requested the theme Cinco de Mayo, the famous celebration in Mexico, and so I began doing some research and studying the theme, and came up with the following mock-up which I was all excited to execute: One of the most common questions that my clients ask me is, “will the...
