  We describe arrangements of ions capable of producing short-range attractive
interactions between pairs of charged colloidal spheres in the low temperature
strongly correlated limit. For particles of radius $R$ with bare charge $Z$ and
comparable absorbed charge $-N$ ($N \sim Z$), the correlations contribution to
the spheres self-energy scales as $N^{3/2}/R$, and as $N/R$ for the interaction
energy between two touching spheres. We show that the re-arrangement of charges
due to polarization plays an insignificant role in the nature and magnitude of
the interaction.
