Concentric rings pull your eye inward on every single repeat, and this octagon flower tile coloring page gives you dozens of them to work through at your own pace.
Large octagons built from multiple parallel lines dominate the layout, each one framing a scalloped petal rosette at its center. Between every pair of large octagons, smaller hexagons and square connector pieces lock the composition together so no space goes untouched.
The nested octagon lines create a natural striping opportunity, while the petal centers invite a contrasting accent color to make each medallion pop. Line density is high throughout, so sessions feel focused and rhythmic. Part of the Geometric Designs collection, this page suits colorists who enjoy systematic, repeat-based work with a clear sense of progress.


Colored pencils are the natural starting point here since the closely spaced parallel lines respond well to light layering and gradual blending between rings. Watercolor pencils can add a soft wash effect across the wider octagon bands if you mist lightly and let each section dry before moving to a neighbor. Fine liners work well for adding subtle contrast along the petal outlines, but keep the nib to 0.3 mm or finer so it does not flood the narrow gaps between nested rings.

Card stock at 65 lb or heavier prevents the fine nested lines from feathering when markers or wet media touch the surface. Printing at 100 percent scale preserves the intended line spacing so the thinnest gaps between concentric rings stay crisp and workable.
