So much luck in one picture: this clover wreath is made of countless leaves, with ladybugs crawling in between. Our detailed New Year's coloring page is perfect for patient artists. Print it for free and color it leaf by leaf.
Why this wreath is a real challenge
The wreath is packed with overlapping clover leaves of different sizes, each with fine veins. Five little ladybugs are tucked into the green, three of them on the left side. At the bottom, a big bow ties it all together, and its long ribbons fall in soft waves. A few single clovers sprout from the ground below.

Why wreaths fit the start of a year
A wreath is round with no beginning and no end, so it stands for the circle of the year that starts over again and again. In some parts of Germany, like the Palatinate in the southwest, people even bake a sweet New Year's wreath or pretzel from yeast dough. A wreath on the front door welcomes guests. Add clovers and ladybugs, and you get a double wish for luck all year long.
