Dragon on a Cushion Coloring Page

About this page

Hugging a big plump pillow, a sleepy dragon rests its head and both front paws on top of it. Its eyes are shut in happy curves, and a contented smile tells you it is about to doze off. The pillow has pinched corners and a smooth, wide face with no pattern, so it makes a large open area. Two curved horns rise from the head, and a row of rounded spikes follows the back. Two wings fold up behind, with the far wing tall and pointed, and a tail with a heart-like tip curls up at the right. A back foot pokes out at the lower right. There is no room or bed drawn, so the pillow and dragon fill the page. This is a gentle, easy picture for kids.
