You're welcome!!! You nailed it with the red stripe on the bias, with the darker red.
For me, I am glad you stuck with the red and didn't go with the solid black.
IMHO I think it would have been too heavy.
The stripe and solid red together kept a nice flow to it.
Even a bit of fun, to go with the fun of the balloon!!
The words on the balloon string are such a nice sentiment for your daughter.
I am sure she will be thrilled with your surprise for her.
