Tightwad Tip -- Liquid "Brads"

Have you ever assembled a card and realized you forgot to add some brads?  Today I was making a few quick cards with a Stampin' Up Blossom Punch.  The center of the flower is a large white brad and I wanted to repeat the brads on the yellow background.  I was distracted and adhered the yellow background to the card front without inserting the brads.

So, I grabbed a bottle of Slick paint and made two small dots on the card.  Then gently tapped the card with my fingernail to flatten the dots into liquid "brads". 


Can you tell which is a brad, and which are the dots of paint?
