A combination of Sue Bowler's wreath from her blog, and Robbie Furman's teddy bear.

Hi Ian, Could the flower stems be made in 160? I think the flowers are hiding the lovely bear behind you have  :D
While typing that I thought oh matron but seriously I do think the flowers are hiding the nice teddy bear in the wreath.

Graham,

You are right - I was also thinking that the teddy bear looks crammed in and smothered with flowers. I guess it depends what you want to be the focal point. Really love this design - well done.

They are all fantastic. Butr just to add my tuppence worth in. Why not try a Wildberry pink bear as I think it would stand out far better?

But love it!   :)

Hmm, what about a 350/360 bear?  :lol:

Those wreaths are awesome, and I love the colour combinations you have chosen.

Back to the Teddy, here is one I made with daisy type flowers, using 160s to make very short stems, or another idea would be to have the bear holding a 6" heart that you could write a message on.

Here is a tutorial for the bear  cute-bear-t6743.html (http://balloonchat.co.uk/cute-bear-t6743.html)

Doesn't take that long to make. It would be quicker if I could inflate and size at the same time.
I believe you can't discuss the price as, at least in American law, it can be construed as price fixing.

Hi Ian, if you are happy to chat about price it does not worry me. I think the US sites are a little too sensitive with things.

I wouldn't see it as price fixing more that if I was selling them I would be asking around £40 to £50 but at that price don't know if I would sell many ?

I was thinking three bands of orange or red and it could be the looney tunes that's all folks rings with a character popping out the middle.
