Athena Is Golden Banner

This one was for Athena, who wanted a banner based on a favorite animated pop-star story. I worked her name into the lyric "Golden," which made the whole idea feel personal without losing that big sing-along moment.

The three singers fill the center with blue, purple, and red hair that pops against the dark background. Music notes, stars, lightning bolts, and little sparkles add the concert feel.

I painted every part on kraft paper, including the tiny faces and flashes of color. I can already picture it hanging behind a cake table. If your kid has a favorite movie or music theme, I'd love to paint their version next.
