Orange-winged butterfly with charcoal borders and body and white circular spots. — A digital color suggestion, not a photograph of a printed result. Open the original line drawing to print and try your own colors.

1. Orange wing panels
2. Charcoal border and body
3. White border spots

Fill the broad enclosed panels inside all four wings orange.
Color the outer border around the circles and the central head and segmented body charcoal gray.
Leave every border circle, the antennae and background white.

The circles should stay distinct from the dark border. Match left and right panels; this is a simplified artistic example.
