You can also sprinkle them.

Merriam-Webster: "sprinkle" def: scatter or pour small drops or particles of a substance over (an object or surface).

It makes them appear more tiny vs. cast them.

Less inoffensive; harmless, or innocuous--somehow. Maybe because there's less of them. I don't know. Sometimes, if I sprinkle mine instead of casting, my wife thinks them funny. Try sprinkling them instead. If that doesn't work, you can always go back to casting, or even try dusting or powdering her with aspersions to see if that works.

Good luck!
