About this coloring page

This intricate mandala features concentric rings of paisley curls, outlined teardrops and small circles. A scalloped outer edge frames the large circular design, while partial patterns fill all four corners inside a rectangular border. Open space separates the central mandala from the decorative corners.

The repeated shapes and narrow bands offer plenty of detail for adults who enjoy working through an elaborate pattern. Try alternating deep blue and turquoise around each ring, with gold-colored accents in the small circles. Sharpened colored pencils are useful for the slender spaces; repeating your central palette in the corners can tie the finished design together.

Best paper

Standard printer paper works; 24–32 lb or cardstock is nicer for markers.

Printer settings

Choose “Fit to page” and turn off two-sided printing so ink doesn't bleed through.

Supplies

Colored pencils give the most control on detailed areas.
