Using Rodilius on already illuminated objects can really bring out the glow in animations. :)
This one has two layers/frames
1) the balloons ran through default Rodilius settings.
2) the original image of glowing balloons

The frames are both set to replace, an 300ms, and to loop forever.

Thanks Molly!
I probably could have turned the Rodilius settings down for the second one. :lol
I do like it though. :)

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays.

Those are great, Rod. How did you get that glow around the balloon's face features and the balloon?

I think the rodilius filter will be really nice for Christmas, too. Make trees, tinsel, lights, glow.

My paltry balloon. Urg. :oops:

I think it's a rather nice looking balloon O. :)
Anyways all i did was take the original balloon image which already had a slight glow.
Added Rodilius and set it to animate.

Pretty simple.
I bet if you take your balloon you drew and give it a very slight white or light blue stroke around the balloon,eyes and the mouth it will work nicely.

These would look pretty great as high quality PNG animations instead of this low quality GIF that they were made in.
