Mermaid Coral Arch Coloring Page

About this page

A smiling mermaid swims through the center of a tall arch built from knobby coral and large blooming flowers. The arch rises from rocky mounds at the bottom left and right, and its sides carry big flowers with petal lines and dotted centers, with branching coral and little beads in between. Inside the arch she drifts leftward, arms stretched out, with her long wavy hair trailing behind her and a small flower pinned above her ear. Her top is decorated with a shell and swirls, and her scaled tail ends in a ribbed fin near the lower right. Two small bubbles rise at the upper right of her head, and wavy seaweed crowds the base on either side. The arch makes a natural frame that draws the eye to the figure in the middle. It suits kids who like a medium page with a clear center and a decorative border to finish last.
