Abstract

A package has a surface including graphics providing a two dimensional image. One or more batteries project from the surface and are positioned relative to the graphics such that portions of the image are three-dimensional.

1 . An apparatus comprising:
 a package having a surface including graphics providing a two dimensional image; and   one or more batteries projecting from the surface and positioned relative to the graphics such that portions of the image are three dimensional.   
   
   
       2 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the package comprises a card providing the surface. 
   
   
       3 . The apparatus of  claim 2 , wherein the batteries are captured between the card and a translucent polymeric film. 
   
   
       4 . The apparatus of  claim 3 , wherein the film is bonded to the card. 
   
   
       5 . The apparatus of  claim 2 , wherein the card includes a hang hole. 
   
   
       6 . The apparatus of  claim 1  including at least three batteries. 
   
   
       7 . The apparatus of  claim 6 , wherein the at least three batteries include a first battery, a second battery and a third battery, wherein the first battery is spaced from the second battery by a first distance, wherein the second battery is spaced from the third battery by a second different distance. 
   
   
       8 . The apparatus of  claim 6 , wherein the at least three batteries are non-uniformly spaced from one another along the surface. 
   
   
       9 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the batteries occupy less than 10 percent of an area of the surface. 
   
   
       10 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the batteries occupy less than 5 percent of an area of the surface. 
   
   
       11 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the batteries comprise button cell batteries. 
   
   
       12 . The apparatus of  claim 11 , wherein the image includes one or more circular portions and wherein the one or more button cell batteries are located at locations corresponding to the circular portions. 
   
   
       13 . The apparatus of  claim 12 , wherein the circular portions include representations selected from a group of representations consisting of an earring, stop lights, bowling balls, vehicle headlights, and chair cushions.
