Cute Owl with a Heart Balloon Coloring Page

About this page

Standing in a patch of grass, a small owl holds the string of a big heart-shaped balloon in its raised wing. The balloon floats at the top right with a glossy curved highlight on its left lobe, a tiny knot at its bottom point and a thin string that wiggles down to the owl's wing. The owl has huge shiny eyes under tall ear tufts, a small beak, and a round body marked with overlapping scallop feathers. Its other wing hangs at its side with a few long feathers showing, and its tail sticks out behind at the left. The feet are planted in the middle of a few grass tufts that spread across the bottom of the page. The heart is a bold shape and the feather scallops add some texture, which makes this a medium page that kids can finish with a special feel.
