Step by step: how to draw New Year Andamaina Puvvu Muggulu With 16 To 2 Dots

1. Mark the 16-to-2 dot grid.
2. At the top draw a flower — a round centre ringed by four broad rounded petals marked with short stripes — flanked by a leaf and a spiral curl on each side.
3. Repeat the same flower on the left, right and bottom so there is one on each of the four sides.
4. Link the four flowers with curving vines carrying leaves and spiral curls so they close into a diamond-shaped frame around the centre.
5. Inside the frame write HAPPY on the top row and NEW on the second row in single-line capitals over the dots.
6. Below them write YEAR and then 2020 on the bottom row.
7. Add a small leaf sprig on each side of the word NEW.
