Fill the rounded head and all eight arms lavender, including the narrow undersides; leave eyes and mouth white.

Each curled arm should remain separate, with yellow circles visible along it. Keep the space between arms white.

Choose the plain smiling octopus for broad spaces, or the beach-ball scene for a few extra shapes. The reef arch and sea-fan garden have many small shells, suckers and branches; the painter and drummer add objects with clear patterns.
