Star(dust) Shell-ebrate

I can't stop myself. 

I just had to use this little turtle!  

He's (or She's) just so darn cute!

I went back and forth on this card.  I must admit it was in pieces on my desk for a very long time.  I couldn't be happier with the end result.  I love the non-traditional sparkle behind the star and the fact that nothing besides the ribbon is straight.   

(Even the star is just slightly tilted.  I did that on purpose!)  

Everything is adhered with dimensional adhesive to give it extra interest, although it's a little hard to see in the photo.  

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
