Sugar Skull Balloon Coloring Page

Someone tied a calavera to a string. The balloon is one clean circle with a six petal flower near the top, a spiral curling at each temple and two more low on the cheeks. Both eye sockets are open circles wrapped in a thick ring of scallops, and a small heart serves as the nose. The grin below runs as a tight row of square teeth. A pleated knot sits at the bottom and the string drops away in a long lazy S that fills the lower third of the sheet. The outline is unbroken the whole way round, which matters here: a balloon with a gap in its edge stops looking inflated. Party balloons are glossy and bright, so saturated color suits this page better than anything soft. One flat shade across the whole circle with the decoration picked out on top is the quickest route to a good result. Leave the string plain. It is the one line on the page that should stay thin and quiet.
