Yeah, the "cherry b**b design" works too. I always was kind of concerned it would go flipping off at some point.
A good composition for those "cherry b**b" spinners is Potassium Perchlorate, 60, Potassium Benzoate, 30, spherical or bright Aluminum, 300 mesh, 10. It creates a tall kind of "fierce" looking fountain effect on the ground. I stumbled upon this by accident wondering how coarse aluminum would do as a visual filler for small whistle based salutes. If they're launched into the air it looks super fantastic.
