imagine your border as being made up of two rounds and not the final round. If your first round has chain spaces (like sc, ch1, skip a st, sc, ch1, skip a st) and you r second row has you work in that ch1 space, then the space under it where the skipped stitch is will show as a “hole”.
If you do not like the holes, then you either have to overlap the shells or work the shells in a foundation that does not have the skipped stitches (which will mean that you will skip stitches between the shells to avoid a ruffle)
you can look up different types of shell boarders online to see the difference in how they are constructed
