ABSTRACT:
A three-dimensional balloon display comprising a grid array comprised of at least one set of grid members, each set of grid members having a front side and a back side. The grid members are each shaped to form a compartment for receipt of at least one inflated balloon. The compartments have an interior side and an exterior side. An inflated balloon is maintained in the compartment by the pneumatic pressure within the inflated balloon exerted against the interior side of the compartment to create the three-dimensional display. In an alternative embodiment, a second set of grid members is aligned with the first set of grid members to create a three-dimensional compartment for receipt of the inflated balloon.
