Waving Dragon with Swirl Motifs Coloring Page

About this page

Standing tall on two legs, a smiling dragon waves one front paw at the left while the other arm hangs down. The belly holds a bold design of mirrored swirl spirals in two stacked pairs, and each wing carries a single round swirl near its center. The dragon has an open mouth, large eyes, ringed horns, a small crest and fin ears. A row of spikes follows its back, and the tail curves up at the lower right. The feet are drawn with three toes each, and the whole figure floats on blank paper. The spirals are simple, closed loops that make clear shapes, and the pose is friendly and welcoming, which suits kids who like animals with a lot of personality.
