I used cool white frosted and then blue frosted for the whirlwind lettering.

I used a mix frosted white warm single SMDs, warm white 2 smds (that I frosted by hand with sandpaper), and one or two ultra bright warm whites. The ultra brights went in areas where the art is meant to look closer (enhances the depth of the image). I also used 1 or 2 red frosted bulbs on the van (careful not to colorized the flesh tones) and one frosted blue on the far right caravan.

Art at comet piball helped me select the various brightness of white bulbs.

Looks great with no hot spots

All cool whites

Ditto. After a TON of experimentation, this was what I thought looked best.

That's a great idea. I will try it out.
