    Have you thought of checking out coloring books? You may not find what you want in the cheaper kids' books (found at a dollar store) BUT if you look for a floral-themed adult book and see something nice, you can buy the book, remove the page(s) and print them off at a Staples store. You can see enlarge them as well. Yes, you will need to color the "roses" with some colored pencils but that could be a lot of fun. You can make the blooms any color you like - peach, pink, lavender, etc.
