A prickly pear cactus with four rounded, spine-dotted pads rises from a coral pink pot against a soft mint green background, its segmented form resembling inflated balloons stacked vertically. The clean, centered composition and pastel color palette create a lighthearted, whimsical mood that plays with the visual similarity between the cactus's natural shape and floating spheres. Bound with 52 pages of 70lb paper, lined or unlined, behind an anti-scuff matte cover with wraparound artwork, made to order. Notes and sketches kept behind an independent artist's work, not a plain composition cover.
