About this floral coloring page
The poinsettia is the flower of the holiday season, and this page gives it room to shine. A single large bloom fills the center. Its pointed bracts (the colored leaves most people think of as petals) are arranged in two overlapping layers, each with a clear center vein and angled side veins. At the heart sits a cluster of small round buds, the poinsettia's actual flowers. Green leaves peek out between the outer bracts, and a ring of background rays inside a large circle frames the whole page. With 168 regions it's a medium-level design: the shapes are generous, but there are enough veins to make careful shading worth it. Red is traditional, but poinsettias also come in cream, pink, salmon and marbled varieties, so there's plenty of room to make this one your own.

Coloring tips
Shade the back layer of bracts one step darker than the front layer, and the flower will look three-dimensional. Color the vein sections in two close shades for a velvet texture. Gold or pale yellow works best for the bud cluster. For a modern take, try blush pink and sage green on a cream background.
