Under-The-Sea Appeal: Summer Scrapbook Borders With Starfish Details

Posted on July 3, 2023July 3, 2023 by Krislyn Mattei

Seas these fascinating facts…

Sea stars or starfish aren’t actually fish — these amazing creatures are echinoderms and are closely related to sand dollars and sea urchins. Even more so, there are approximately 2,000 species of sea stars living in every one of the world’s oceans — from tropical, rocky Caribbean seafloors to the frigid depths of the Arctic — and many having more than the common five legs like a traditional star. The most ideal time to find sea stars is during low tide when tide pools become easy to see (just remember to not harvest or touch them to avoid injuring the pointy organism), but we’re all about a high tide of creativity today, especially with these summer scrapbook borders with starfish details. Dive away!
