Blue Seashell Paper Placemats

Some placemats just sit there; these are die-cut seashells with pale-blue ombré ribs, a gold-flecked center, and a little pink scalloped edge, like the shell washed up wearing lipstick. Set one at every seat and the whole table reads full-on under the sea before a single plate lands. These seashell placemats do the heavy lifting at a mermaid party or an ocean birthday — big enough to frame an entire place setting, dramatic enough that nobody asks where the rest of the decorations went. And when the cake's gone, they go in the recycling, not a laundry pile.
