Using the function MakeMandala from this answer by Anton Antonov:

SeedRandom[123];
Show[MakeMandala[],
 Epilog -> {White, Disk[{0, 0}, Scaled[.15]], 
   Text[Style["abcd", 
     FontSize -> Scaled[.1], FontFamily -> "Cambria",FontColor -> Red]]}]

enter image description here

SeedRandom[123]; 

Multicolumn[
 Table[Show[MakeMandala[] /. _GrayLevel -> RandomColor[], 
    Background -> Black,
    Epilog -> {Black, Disk[{0, 0}, Scaled[.15]], 
      Text[Style["abcd", FontSize -> Scaled[.1], 
        FontFamily -> "Cambria", FontColor -> Red]]}],
    10],
 5]

enter image description here

Update: "how the hollow letters can be placed so that they can be painted":

SeedRandom[123];
textoutlines = MeshPrimitives[
  BoundaryDiscretizeGraphics[
   Text[Style["abcd", 
     FontSize -> 5, FontFamily -> "Cambria", FontColor -> Red]], 
   _Text], 1];

Multicolumn[
 Table[Show[MakeMandala[] /. _GrayLevel -> (rc = RandomColor[]), 
   Background -> Black, 
   Epilog -> {Black, Disk[{0, 0}, Scaled[.15]], 
      AbsoluteThickness[.5], rc, textoutlines}, 
   ImageSize -> Medium], 4], 2]

enter image description here

Update 2: Put a frame on mandalas and export to PDF:

textoutlines = MeshPrimitives[
   BoundaryDiscretizeGraphics[
    Text[Style["abcd",
      FontSize -> 5,
      FontFamily -> "Cambria",
       FontColor -> GrayLevel[0.25]]],
    _Text],
   1];

SeedRandom[123];

{rows, columns} = {4, 2};

mandalagrid = Rasterize[Grid@
    Table[Show[MakeMandala[],
      Epilog -> {{White, Disk[{0, 0}, Scaled[.15]]},
        AbsoluteThickness[.5], textoutlines}, 
      Frame -> True, FrameTicks -> None, 
      ImagePadding -> 10, ImageSize -> 500],
     rows, columns], 
   ImageResolution -> 400];

Export["mandalagrid.pdf", mandalagrid]

"mandalagrid.pdf"

    $\begingroup$ @zeros, you need to copy the code for functions MakeSeedSegment, MakeSymmetric and MakeMandala from the linked page. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ It took me a while to integrate it, I haven't worked with MMA for a long time, one last question, how can I add, instead of one line, 2 lines something like abc defgh , first line "abc" , second line "defgh" Thanks in advance $\endgroup$
