What morph is my leopard gecko?

Alright so we got my daughters leopard gecko, Cherry Blossom, in August. She was labeled as a hypo bell albino. I’m not going to lie I’m a little confused by what each morph means… I assume albino bell is the coloration of her, and hypo is the pattern or lack thereof.

but I’m also not sure how accurate that is. So I will attach photos of her. And I’ll see if anybody can help me out. She has green eyes but sometimes they have a pink tint so idk ‍♀️

It is definitely an albino, since it's yellow and beige/brown, as opposed to yellow and black. There are 3 strains of albino and Bell is one of them. If you were told by a breeder it's a Bell, that's likely correct (the other 2 strains are called Tremper and Rainwater or Las Vegas). The "hypo" refers to the nearly lack of body spots. Geckos with 10 or fewer body spots are called "hypo" and those with no body spots are called "super hypo". You can see the small patch of spotting on the gecko's back that make it hypo as opposed to super hypo.
As far as I can see, the morph description is likely correct.

Thank you so much, I appreciate it! It was driving me nuts not knowing! Now I can confidently say what the morph is without feeling like an idiot. Lol
