Step by step: how to draw Latest Rangavalli Muggulu 7×7 Dots

1. Mark the 7 to 7 dot grid — seven rows of seven dots.
2. In the centre draw a small flower of round petals around a dot.
3. On each of the four middle edges draw a heart with its rounded lobes on the edge dots and its point toward the centre, and set a spiral curl inside it.
4. From the point of each heart sweep a curved tail out to one side and edge it with a row of dots, so the four tails turn around the centre like a pinwheel.
5. In each of the four corners draw four long pointed petals fanning out from a single point toward the corner — two toward each of the corner's edges.
6. Between the corner petals add short stalks ending in small circles.
7. Re-trace the outlines in white.
