Slim Striped Petals Star Flower Mandala in a Thin Circle

A round mandala sits inside a thin circle border, built around a small white star shape at the center. Eight long, narrow petals point outward from the middle, and each petal is split by thin lines into slim strips. A ring circles the center behind the petals. Between the petals, small stepped shapes and wedges fill the gaps. Four diamond-like kite shapes sit at the diagonal corners, and four large triangles with a single line down the middle point inward at the top, bottom, left and right. Curved crescent sections run along the outer edge. A good way to color it is to pick two contrasting colors for the petals and alternate them around the flower, then use a third color for the four triangles so the eight-way symmetry stands out. The printable page also works well for talking about symmetry and repeating patterns.
