I hadn't thought of it as wrapping paper, but I can see it now. LOL. I picked the blues in the background with the idea of Carribbean Ocean blue in mind. The conch shell is the color it is, of course.
This challenge has been a terrific learning experience. It forced me to try quick mask mode, something that has been a mystery to me. I learned to combine layers and create a background from scratch. I'm not sure my photography skills have improved, but it's gotten me thinking and seeing new possibilities.

I agree, this would make great wrapping paper or even a poster. ~kt

Cool. Looks like a Shell Galaxy far, far away :-)

Cheers, Vikas.

CS09, However you did this, I like it! Particularly the shell 2nd from right at the top...looks like it is floating free in space. Nice Work!
