Holly Wreath with Merry Christmas Lettering

A round wreath of spiky holly leaves circles the words Merry Christmas, which are written in a flowing cursive script and drawn as outlines, so the letters can be colored in. Clusters of three round berries, each marked with a small x, sit along the wreath at regular spots. Sketchy evergreen sprigs with feathery needles point inward at the top and bottom of the ring. The holly leaves have jagged edges and a center vein line, which leaves plenty of small sections to fill. Try coloring the leaves in three or four shades of green and leaving the berries bright red, then use a metallic gel pen for the lettering so the greeting stands out. It would work well as a handmade card front once it's printed and finished. The fine detail suits older kids, teens, and adults who like a slower, calmer coloring session.
