Prepare Gelatin Layers:
- Prepare lime, orange, and 1 box of strawberry gelatin separately as directed on the package, using 1 cup of boiling water and 1/2 cup of cold water for each flavor.

- Once set, cut the gelatin into 1/2-inch cubes and measure 1 1/2 cups of each flavor.

Prepare Strawberry Gelatin Mixture:
- In a medium bowl, stir 1 cup of boiling water into the remaining package of strawberry gelatin for at least 2 minutes until completely dissolved.
- Stir in 1/2 cup of cold water and refrigerate for 45 minutes or until slightly thickened (resembling the consistency of unbeaten egg whites).

Assemble the Dessert:
- Gently stir in 1/2 of the Cool Whip topping into the strawberry gelatin mixture.
- Then, gently fold in the measured gelatin cubes into the strawberry gelatin mixture.
- Pour the mixture into a 9×5-inch pan and refrigerate for 4 hours or until firm.
