Bouncing or floating balls in vivid bright colors of turquoise, black and white is a favorite of mine, as I am an enormous fan of aqua/turquoise which I include in many of my designs.

I was astonished! This print-on-demand site is a marketplace where I could submit my countless designs! Will people actually be wearing apparel or drinking out of a mug with my design on their merchandise?
