And 4 into 8 etc etc. The bright colors make a nice addition to the desk and are fun to setup in different configurations.

The gray looking ghosts are printed in Village Plastics glow in the dark blue.

The glow works well when they are charged up, but the LED lights I have don’t seem  to throw out the right amount of light. I had to put them in a sunny spot or under a traditional incandescent bulb.
