Trying to spark Ideas

Well I'm having trouble coming up with a way to assemble the shells and still stick to the sailor's valentine theme, without doing an actual sailor's valentine. So like any other normal person (assuming that I am), I googled "sea shell art" and these are what came up that caught my attention. If this thing would allow me to upload the pics, this would be a lot easier. lol.

I'm in dire need of suggestions. Please comment.
