Cherry Blossom Branch

A graceful cherry blossom branch arcs across this page, dotted with clusters of five-petaled flowers and small round buds, while a few loose petals drift through the air below. Slim twigs branch off the main limb, giving the whole scene an airy, light spring feeling. Each blossom is small and simple, so the page works well for kids who like coloring lots of little flowers, and the open background lets anyone add their own touch. Cherry blossoms, called sakura in Japan, bloom for only a week or two each spring, which is part of why people travel just to see them. Soft pinks and whites are the natural choice for the blossoms, with brown for the curving branch and a hint of green on the newest twigs. Print on US Letter or A4 and fill the sky with floating petals if you like.
