A state of bliss, elation or happiness.
Whenever a phrase includes a number, like the whole nine yards, at sixes and sevens etc., then attempts to find its derivation usually focus on the number. 'On cloud nine' is no exception. A commonly heard explanation is that the expression originated as one of the classifications of cloud which were defined by the US Weather Bureau in the 1950s, in which 'Cloud Nine' denotes the fluffy cumulonimbus type that are considered so attractive. Another explanation is that the phrase derives from Buddhism and that Cloud Nine is one of the stages of the progress to enlightenment of a Bodhisattva (one destined to become a Buddha).

I have a suggestion and it's just a minor detail. Since the source image you used only has two ants, maybe try to make them look more unique. You can convert each ant to a Smart Object and use Puppet Warp to move the legs around or tilt the head and rear end some. Also some brushing.. maybe put some shadows or highlights on different parts of the ants to make them look different. Even a little bit of color on their rear end may work. Also you may want to separate one of the "pairs" of ants so they don't look repetitive.
