Baby Owl With Heart Sparkle Eyes on Branch

A baby owl with huge round eyes perches on a curling branch, its eyes each showing a small white heart in the dark pupil. Thin lashes and striped rings frame the eyes, and a small triangle beak sits between them. Pointed ear tufts and a heart shaped patch on the forehead are filled with swirls, tiny leaves and lacy patterns. The round body has scalloped feathers, a little wing on each side and tiny feet gripping the branch. Leaves with swirly designs grow at both ends of the branch, which finishes in curly tendrils. The pattern work gives kids and older crafters plenty to do with fine tip markers or colored pencils. Try using three or four shades for the feather scallops, then pick a bright color for the heart pupils so the eyes stand out. This free printable also works well for quiet afternoons.
