Circular Dragon with Petal Motifs Coloring Page

About this page

This dragon bends its whole body into a big letter C shape, with its head at the top right and its tail curling up at the lower right so the two nearly meet. Its body is a wide band with three-leaf sprigs scattered along it, and a few more sit on the tail. Two small front paws reach into the middle of the circle, and a hind foot rests at the bottom left. The head has two curved horns, a small cheek tuft and a shy smile, and two wings stand out at the upper left and upper right. The open space in the middle of the loop is blank. The wide body band and big leaf shapes give children large areas to fill, which keeps this page easy for kids.
