Hi there !!!!

Peperomia prostrata

Peperomia prostrata is the String of Turtles plant, which looks very like tiny turtle shells strung on a red stem. There apparently is such a thing as a variegated form, but unfortunately, it’s just got white spotty bits on the leaves, no pink.
In the future, a variegated form may get more common, which is what seems to happen as people start to want one with variegation.
This little guy looks a lot like Hearts Entangled, or Ceropegia woodii, which when I first grew it, was only available in the green form, but I see now that there is a variegated form.
Keep looking!
