Lemonade-table scene with six red stars, five blue balloons and white figures and sign.
A digital color suggestion, not a photograph of a printed result. Open the original line drawing to print and try your own colors.
  • 1. Red stars
  • 2. Blue balloons
  • 3. White sign
  1. Color six stars red: four above the table and two on the tablecloth.
  2. Color all five balloons and their knots blue.
  3. Leave the sign, people, drinks, cups and the rest of the table white.

Six red stars and five blue balloons are easy to find; the sign remains blank.
