Choose how you want to repeat a pattern
Look for a repetition you can follow: separate samples, large divided shapes or rings of small details.
Try one circle
The nine circles contain different patterns. Choose stripes or waves for a small first task; the surrounding flowers can wait.
Dot Day Pattern Circles →
Fill larger pieces
The apple is divided into broad, uneven shapes. Use this when you want distinct spaces without a dense background.
Mosaic Apple →
Work around a ring
Apple blossoms, leaves and fruit repeat around a center. A pencil helps with the leaf veins and small petals.

Print the original line drawing linked below. The numbered areas match the color key and steps; use the colored example as a starting point, then choose your own colors if you prefer.
Digital coloring example
- 1. Blue bands
- 2. Yellow bands
- 3. Leave other circles white
- Color one diagonal band in the lower-right circle blue, then every other band.
- Fill the bands between them yellow, keeping the printed lines visible.
- Leave the other circles white for a finished small task, or try the same two colors in another circle.
One circle is a complete starting task. If the spaces feel too small, switch to the mosaic apple.
