Octopus Tip
I am frequently asked for Blue or Red and sometimes Black Octopi. In the
past I have had to answer with I don't have heads in that color but I can do the
legs that color. Now thanks to Qualatex's new selections I have an answer for
that. While I love the looks of the Spray-on Polka Dots Spring Assortment that
come in Spring Lilac, Lime Green, Yellow, Orange, And Rose with tastefully
contrasting colored dots, I can add two more colors Pale Blue and Goldenrod by
also using the Big Polka Dots Assortment that comes in Pale Blue, Goldenrod,
Lime Green, Spring Lilac and Rose all of which have large White Polka Dots. I am
not as craze about the large White Polka Dots as I am about the Colorful
Spray-on ones but I have not gotten any negative feedback about them. Now for
the Red and Black Octopi. Yes Qualatex does have Black balloons with both
Spray-on and large White Polka Dots, but I find the Big Polka Dots Red Balloons
that are Red with Large Black Polka Dots to work for both.
OK, now I have bought 250 balloons in three different bags, the Big Polka
Dots Red Balloons come in bags of 50, and every now and then I notice that I get
a build up of one color that is not getting used. So while I ask what color
Octopi people want, I do not ask when I am making composition balloons like a
Fish on a Fishing Pole or a Dog Chasing a Ball Hat. Unless specifically asked I
use what ever I need to keep my inventory even.
Oh and by the way the Big Polka Dots Red Balloons make really cool Giant
Ladybugs.
