What's In This Picture
At the heart of this page is a central star-like formation that acts as the anchor for the entire design. Surrounding this center are several repeating circular motifs, each filled with its own unique set of detailed floral elements. You will notice how the circles overlap, creating new shapes where the lines cross. The outer edges are adorned with swirling decorative elements that give the whole image a sense of movement. Every section is packed with dense, geometric shapes that provide endless opportunities for creative color choices.
Coloring Tips
Because the lines are so close together, using fine-tip markers or sharpened colored pencils will help you stay within the boundaries. You might want to start from the center and work your way outward to avoid smudging your work. Choosing a limited color palette, such as different shades of blue and green, can create a soothing monochromatic look. Alternatively, using bright, contrasting colors for the overlapping sections will make the geometric patterns pop. Don't be afraid to leave some areas lighter and others darker to give the flat shapes a three-dimensional feel.

The word mandala comes from an ancient language called Sanskrit and it means circle.
