We Love Sea Turtles!

One of our favorite exhibits at the Virginia Aquarium and Marine Science Center was about loggerhead turtles.    When I got home and was looking through my Meljen’s Designs digital images, I saw this little sea turtle and had to use him.   He inspired me to create a scrapbook page to help us remember the day.

Goodness, what an adorable layout, Cheryl! I LOVE these colors and love the fun polka dots and chevron print, and that turtle is just the most perfect touch. Great photos, too, and I really like how you have them arranged with the one tucked at an angle behind the other.
