Designer’s Note
This artwork features a swimming sea turtle decorated with layered green shell details, scale-style flippers, leafy tropical patterns, and a bright pink hibiscus flower on the shell. The embroidery build uses textured fill stitching, clean shell sections, smooth floral detail, organized color stops, and careful sequencing to keep the turtle shape clear and balanced. Its light green, dark green, teal, white, and hot pink palette gives the design a vibrant island ocean mood.
