About This Jigsaw Puzzle
A single moonflower unfurls its large creamy white petals in the quiet of the night, its spiralling centre catching the soft glow of a crescent moon above. Colourful stars in orange and blue are scattered across a deep navy and purple sky, and a closed bud reaches up beside the open bloom. Dark teal-green leaves frame the vine, their broad shapes silhouetted against the glowing night.
Coloring Tips
Keep the moonflower petals a warm ivory or cream rather than stark white to give them a natural glow in the moonlight. Layer the sky in deep navy, indigo, and dark purple, and use golden orange and pale ice blue for the star accents.
