Colour palette turtle

I had a bit of a block with these colours for some reason - probably the heat we are experiencing at the moment turning my brain to mush!  Eventually, I created this card:


The colour challenge can be found here:
http://meljensdesignsdt.blogspot.co.nz/2013/01/challenge-142-color-challenge.html

The paper for this card comes from Free Digital Scrapbook and is called Pink Beach Towel.  Figured that this was appropriate for the turtle!  The contrasting paper is also from Free Digital Scrapbook and is called Halloween Crackle - not quite so appropriate but fits the colour scheme.  I've cut it into a wave pattern to resemble water - the crackle is the seaweed.

The image is from Meljens Designs Studio and is called Turtles Little Star.  The sentiment is from Create with TLC.  I have also added some swirls of gemstones to match the image but also to represent some bubbles.
