Crouching Rat Under Star Garlands, New Year 2020

A rat in profile faces left, crouched low with its long tail curling up behind it. Its body is filled with snowflake and flower designs, and the tail has striped bands. Above the rat, two garlands of small stars sag across the top of the page. Hanging from thin strings are three round ornaments with star and snowflake patterns, a large faceted star, a smaller layered star, and a snowflake. Small stars of different sizes are scattered around the rat. At the bottom, the words HAPPY NEW YEAR! sit in thin letters beside a big outlined 2020 in bubbly numbers. The page is free to print and works well for a pencil practice session. Try colors in two families, such as cool blues and purples for the ornaments and warm shades for the rat, so the patterned body stands out. The small snowflake shapes inside the rat are good for fine-tip markers or gel pens.
