Possible entry into the Apo Challenge 53 - Bubbles being held by . This is one of my favorite things to do - makes lots and lots of bubbles and that's just what this Challenge was looking for. I did one for the Toshiba Laptop Skins Contest, but I decided to make a new one for the Challenge.

The rules were very straightforward:

Way way back in challenge #4 we had the "Popping Bubbles" challenge. Just briefly, it entailed using the bubble variation on every transform. This week, we're going to explore a different kind of bubble challenge.
It's been quite some time since we've had a "themed" challenge. It high time we have another.
This week's challenge is to create bubbles. The bubble variation need not be used, that's your personal choice. Your fractal must convey the thought of bubbles. You may choose to have just a few bubbles or millions. Whatever your heart desires.

* Transform Limit: Unlimited

* Variations: Any

* Final Transform: Allowed, Any


Here are the params for this one:
