The rangoli above is a Tamil New Year special it is a rangoli with dots of 15 to 1 dots pattern (ner pulli kolam) i.e the dots decrease from 15 to1 in odd numbers (15,13,9,7,5,3 and 1).   This design, initially was to be butterflies and flowers combination but I changed it to birds and flowers pattern as I drew it.  The level of difficulty I presume is medium, I have added the video for this rangoli.  After a long time I had a lot of filling up of colors to do but it was worth it, given the festival season - Ugadi, Baisakhi, Tamil New Year, Ramnavami etc.
I also tried to add some shades along the perimeter of some of the patterns in this rangoli.  I think overall it is presentable if not beautiful.  Hope you agree.

The double line rangoli above is drawn first using white rangoli powder and then the colours are filled.  The border rangoli is drawn with colours and design to match the rangoli at the centre.  For the Tamil New year festival season

Since we live in Tamil Nadu we celebrate  Ugadi or Gudi Padava (our New Year ) and Tamil New Years Day.  Obviously more the festivals more the joy and fun.   The rangoli above, has a padi kolam at the centre expanded with free hand floral designs with pink lotuses at the periphery.  Added to this design is a free hand rangoli border and blue lotuses.  I have added as many colours as possible to make the rangoli beautiful (!).  
I hope it has come out well.
