Dover coloring books are fun

This is a hand-colored copy of a black & white design taken from a Dover "Decorative Tile Designs" Coloring Book (by Marty Noble). I've felt inspired by Dover book illustrations and design books over the years. I hope they company will continue to be around for many more years.

I was going for a secondary color triad (green, orange, and purple), but it's hard to see the details of the colors, flowers and leaves with this scan (right). Ah well, as mentioned above, this was quite fun.

These little labels we find stuck on our apples, bananas, oranges, and other produce items help tell a story - where our fruit comes from. They also create interesting images shown collectively - on their own.
