Summer in an ATC

The latest swap for AlphaStamps is SUMMER! Think beach! Shells! Swimming! Hot! Wish I could but summer hasn't come to the Pacific Northwest yet. Still, there is a schedule to keep to. The ATC above is kinda fun, using stamps and die-cut scrap from AS.
Now this one may come across as a bit heavy, as in OMG, not another sea creature, and such a rare one at that, caught in a net. Well, folks this is the mood now. Thank you, BP.
I love seahorses. The background paper is from AS, so I needed to use it if possible. Still the color is muted for SUMMER! I just don't know if these 3 will make the cut for the swap or not. It helps me decide to see these pics, and to hear your comments. So, any comments?

I like the last one, but it is darker. If that's not what you're looking for, could you lighten it up? Could you rub a lighter layer of paint/glitter on it?
I like it, though. But---is sounds like you might have wanted a softer palette.
