Tail-Wagging Puppy in Sugar Skull Patterns
Coloring guide
A smiling puppy stands on a small patch of grass, pink tongue hanging out and tail curled up and wagging, with little motion lines beside it. Big round eyes are framed by swirly, flower-like sugar skull designs, and a tiny heart sits on the forehead. The floppy ears, a collar of dots and circles, and the legs and tail are filled with stripes, paisley swirls and daisy-style flowers. A few grass tufts and two small flowers sit near the paws. Large open flowers and fine patterned bands give you a mix of spaces, so it works for kids who like bold fills and for those who like detail. Turquoise and magenta would look striking on the big flowers, with sunny yellow on the dotted collar. Print this free page for a quiet, creative moment.
