Birthday Balloons with Owl Feet

I've been thinking about balloons lately and how to make them without hand cutting.  So I looked through the punches we have and hit upon two that worked PERFECTLY together to make a balloon.  The Small Oval (120908) and the Owl Builder (118074).  Okay, I see you thinking... think about this.  The bottom, or gathered part of a balloon where the knot is tied, has a rippled edge to it.  Take a look at the "feet" on the owl and you have the gathered part of a balloon.  

Punch out the Small Oval out of any DSP or card stock you like and then punch enough "feet" to go with your ovals.  Trim the feet up so you have plenty of  pieces to go with your balloons.  See samples below:
