Mixed Garden Flowers In A Circular Decorative Pattern Coloring Page

Around a dozen garden flowers are packed into a tight circle at the middle of this page, with no stems showing and nothing behind them. Cosmos, daisies, gerberas and a zinnia crowd against each other, each drawn with clean separated petals and a dark textured disk at its heart. Those dark centers come already filled on the sheet, which saves you the fiddliest part of the job and gives the finished page some built in contrast. Wrapping the bouquet is a scalloped border two rings deep, made of pointed leaf shapes and small teardrop eyes that repeat all the way around. The border is strictly symmetric and the bouquet inside it is not, which is the pleasure of this design. Take the border in a two color alternation so the repeat reads clearly, then let the flowers inside be as mixed and unruly as you like. Because the blooms overlap so heavily, neighboring petals need different values or the whole circle flattens into a single mass. Choosing a light, a mid and a dark version of each color before you begin is worth the two minutes it costs.
