I think different colored balloons would be really cute and add more color, make it look brighter.

I agree with Jingle but xif you look at the feet they are getting further from the ground. So more balloons as you go up

I really like this idea of kites in the adjacent empty square. Especially if it's for a boy. If it's for a girl, then do a cluster of balloons or a big bouquet of flowers (might be tricky as an applique ).

It might even be kind of cute if some balloons went outside the box and onto the frames (or even into the box above).
