The sides of the bench were covered in hot air balloons interspersed with clouds formed into recognizable shapes.

The entrance to the Davis Regal Theater lay just beyond the bench. In addition to hot air balloons and clouds, a dramatic sky

The top of the bench was decorated with stars and swirling blue orbs.

A closer view of one end of the "Hot Air Ballooning While Cloud Watching" bench.
Notice that one cloud looked like a turtle and the other cloud looked like a lizard.
Notice the use of mosaic tiles to create the scene. The hills were covered in small trees. The crests of the hills were
bordered in yellow. And the fog was created using grey-tone tiles.

The swirls were complete circles with marbles in the center. Those circles were surrounded by yellow stars.

A closer view of a balloon. Notice the two people in the basket of the balloon. Also notice that the grout around the
trees in the hills was green, and the grout used in the sky was light blue.
