The fireworks are rendered in 3D with all sorts of customization. Macintosh users: Be sure to turn on the sound (and tweak other features) by clicking on the Options button under the preview screen in the Desktop & Screen Saver system preference.

As it’s our 7th wedding anniversary on the fourth, I can use this as the “wake up, it’s our anniversary” show!
