What sort of baloon are we going for the long or the more rounded shape?<br /><br />I can probably knock up an editable .png for you so you can download it and change the colours etc, let me know what you are after.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.webdesignerforum.co.uk/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /><!--content-->
That would be awesome thanks.<!--content-->
Ok, no problem at all,<br /><br />I've created 3 balloons for you, hopefully they are what you after.<br /><br />Please see attached they are a fully editable Fireworks .png so you can easily change colours etc.<br /><br />There 2 inner shadow effects which you can change to reflect the coloured balloon.<br /><br />Balloons:<br /><br />Click to view attachment<br /><br />Enjoy <img src="http://www.webdesignerforum.co.uk/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /><!--content-->

Thanks very much glad you like them <img src="http://www.webdesignerforum.co.uk/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /><br /><br />It didn't take me long at all, the initial problem is getting the gradients/shadows right then it's a case of just copy and pasting and altering the colours <img src="http://www.webdesignerforum.co.uk/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /><br /><br />That's 1 member of the month point to me... he he <img src="http://www.webdesignerforum.co.uk/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /><!--content-->
Hey, here is my quick attempt at the red balloon (on the right of course).<br />I might be able to make it a bit better with more time but I'm not sure.<br />What do you think? Any immediate thing to improve?<br />and how do you make your so round <img src="http://www.webdesignerforum.co.uk/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />? Mine is a kind of weird shape.<br /><br />BTW my first time adding an image so if it doesn't work, sorry.<!--content-->
