Description: The picture is divided into three parts. The lower part of the page is the beach. It is covered with tan and white sand that has been glued to the page. Several seashells add additional texture. White paper cutout people frolic in the sand. The middle of the page is painted the dark blue of the ocean. A single seashell is placed in the center of the water. The top part of the picture shows a light blue paper sky filled with a bright yellow sun. The sun has a face and many long rays of light reach out from it across the sky. A few birds made from plastic buttons fly among the white cotton clouds.
