Default User proofing an entry

Hello everyone,

I have a sheet that is being used as a data gathering template. The users
fill in as much available information here as they have and then through VBa
we automate data entry into another system. However I have three cells that
must be filled in for this to work. Currently those three cells are at the
top middle of the opening view with a bright red background. Everyone has
been trained to fill them out and they are still being missed.

I want to make the background color flash until a value is entered into it.
Does anyone know how to do this? Say, the background color changes from
yellow to red every two seconds until any value other than blank is entered?
