Layered Petal Mandala Coloring Page

About this page

This round mandala builds outward from a small flower. Around it, wide pointed petals overlap in layers before a ring of small rounded scallops closes the edge. The central flower and the broad inner petals make a calm place to begin, while the outer scallops give the picture a gentle finishing rhythm. There is open white space around the design, so the full circle stays easy to see on a printed page. Try coloring the center in one warm shade, then alternate two cool shades across the larger petals to show the layered pattern. The smallest scallops can repeat a third accent color without becoming busy. A pale gray or light blue shadow between the outer ring and the petals can make the shape feel raised while keeping the page bright. This is a useful page for a short quiet coloring break or a simple handmade card front.
