Coloring page of string lights winding around a Christmas tree

Why the string lights design is so much fun

Instead of single ornaments or a star, this design puts many small light bulbs in the spotlight, strung through the tree like a beaded necklace. That invites you to invent your own color pattern β€” alternating yellow and red, for example, or all the lights in a warm golden tone.
