Butterfly on a blossom

A butterfly opens patterned wings above a large flower. Mirrored teardrops and ovals make this a useful page for experimenting with repeated colors and symmetry.

How much detail?

The mirrored wing shapes and flower petals create a moderate pattern challenge. About the labels.

Try this palette: Blossom wings

Mirror your colors across the left and right wings, then use a quieter shade for the flower.

A small coloring tip

A pointed pencil reaches the wing ovals and narrow leg spaces; broad flower petals work well with crayons.

Choose whether the left and right wings will match exactly or share the same colors in a different order.
