Answer
Let ABCD be a square. We draw perpendicular bisectors of the sides AB and BC as shown in the figure.
Let the perpendicular bisectors intersect the square at the points P, Q, R, and S.
With centres at P, Q, R, and S, draw semicircles in the square with radius equal to AP.
Colour the boundary of the design using a coloured pencil.
This will make the design stand out from the supporting lines and curve.
