Dahlia Bloom Coloring Page

Pointed petals stack in concentric circles, creating a dense spiral pattern that radiates outward from the flower's center in this coloring page. The serrated leaf edges feature sharp teeth along their margins, while raised veins branch throughout each leaf surface in organic patterns. An unopened bud sits alongside the main bloom, its overlapping scales forming a tight dome shape. Layer your colors darker toward the flower's core, then gradually lighten each petal ring as you move outward to emphasize the dimensional spiral effect. The heavily veined leaves need two or three shades of green to show depth-try a base color first, then add darker tones along the veins and lighter highlights between them. Consider warm reds or deep purples for the dahlia petals, paired with cooler yellow-greens in the foliage for strong visual contrast.
