i don't think you have to stick to their suggestion either,but the bubbles would be nice if you feel like doing the extra work. i would have only a few bubbles, large, and maybe layered. think of a bubble within a bubble, but with one edge touching. cut out some paper circles and color them in to see how they would look and scatter them on the top. i think you only need three. odd numbers look nicer than even numbers. in other words, fewer ones, but more interesting than the ones they suggest. experiment outside the box. whatever you decide, it will be great work. please show us the finished project.

What a lovely job you have made - the colours are to die for - I love it, love it, love it.
I have to say I like it just the way it is - but it's your decision. Let us know what you decide :P

It looks good right now, but I'd add bubbles to it...it would give it that "little something extra"!

Thanks, everyone, for your advice...
I decided to stare at this for 2 weeks as - is ... then lay some bubbles on there and see if I like it more....

then, stare at it for 2 weeks more!

There's no rush as this is a Christmas gift.
(I'm a little bit proud of myself for doing it this month and not on Dec 24th)
