I had a lot of fun creating these backgrounds. I had a few 5 gallon buckets of shells I'd collected after a big storm, and since I'm really not a Shell Collector, I thought why not scan them and do something with them before I give them away. Here's the results. I'm not 100% sure of the shell names in all cases, but I did look them up and try to be correct on them. This Tulip Shell Background is my personal work. It's a little different from the others, but not by a lot.

From a page that used to be on Ocean.com
"The Banded Tulip has a cream to tan body with distinctive
brown striped and bluish gray color splotches. The grow to 1.5-3 inches and live
up to 36 feet deep. They can be very aggressive and will eat other tulips of the
same or similar species.
The Banded Tulip's shell is very brittle and is rarely found in perfect condition once washed ashore."
I guess it was because it was right after a Tropical Storm that we were able to collect hundreds of Banded Tulip Shells ranging from 2-4 inches long, unbroken, shiny and in wonderful condition.
