Thanks guys, I tried wings but couldn't get any that I liked. I'll revisit that again. With the wings should I still have the tack?
updated OP with v3. I tried the wings, but it just changed the focal back to the angel balloon all the while cluttering the overall design. I want this to be as simple as it can be.
What happened to the angel balloon??? The first one was perfect. I do think adding those x's gets the joke across better.
I thought I would make it look more like a balloon. If it is generally disliked I can bring the old one back.
I think little tiny angel wings would sell it a bit better that its the same balloon only dead. Also in regards to the coloring thing you said, I disagree, cartoon "ghosts" usually rise up out of a fully colored person or thing and appear as translucent white spirits. That is the classic depiction of a ghost. In fact its weird to see a white balloon. So if you really want the audience of this work to understand it is a popped balloon, you should color it, and if possible make the ghost a little more translucent.
I'll give it a shot, trying won't hurt anything. I'll also try adding a smaller version f the wings I put on there last night. Thanks.
