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. You can scan just about anything. You wouldn't believe some of the items I've scanned. 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. You may use this Tulip Shell Background FREE on your site if you'll simply provide a link giving us credit for its creation to either Tarzanna Graphics or to our sponsor, TaylorShopping.com.

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.
