Paisley Butterfly with Scalloped Wings and Daisy Flowers

A large butterfly fills the page with its wings spread wide, seen from above. Each wing is packed with paisley shapes, swirling curls, small hearts, tiny dots and a daisy-style flower, and the wing edges are finished with scalloped borders. The body is divided into rows of stripes and little patterns, with a small head and two long antennae that curl into spirals. Around the butterfly, the background is scattered with simple daisies and small circles, and a thin frame runs around the whole page. Because the spaces are so small, fine-tip pencils or gel pens work best. Try coloring each wing as a mirror of the other, picking three or four main colors and repeating them in the flowers and paisleys. It makes a good quiet project for older kids, teens or adults who like detailed designs, and it is easy to print and finish over a few sittings.
