Since I was a little girl every year we would drive from the northern part of Missouri to Florida to visit my grandparents. The BEST part of the trip was getting to go to the beach!!! Unfortunately one summer I had a cast on my arm from falling out of a tree (LOL I was only five and didn't weight hardly anything!) But that meant I couldn't go swimming. So to make it up to me, we went to the aquarium! And here are some of the things we saw!
I used the recessed windows to take the scene farther and farther back. Hope you like it!

Okay, thanks for taking a peek!

I haven't looked at the gallery until now, and I see that you and I went in the same direction, that's just too funny! I love your aquarium scene, Kathleen! Now why didn't I think of that one Spellbinders leaf for seaweed, duh! I love this scene. The walrus makes me think of the little ditty I got when I went to Alaska in 1975, I still have it!
Anyhow, this great scene is pure genius!

Straight into my favourites, Kathleen; even from the thumb I knew I would love this, and I do, every little bit of it. The recessed layers work wonderfully for adding depth to it.
