Took a different direction here from the typical carved pumpkin face. This one is genuinely angry. The mouth stretches wide open, showing a full row of jagged fang teeth with the red mouth interior and tongue visible behind em. Above that theres a pair of heavy slanted eyebrows and squinting eyes that push the expression into monster territory. The artist rendered the pumpkin with actual shading across the ribs in burnt orange, dark amber, and rust, so it reads dimensional, not flat cartoon fill. Green stem at the top with a couple of dark detail stitches.
12 colours, 11 colour changes, density at 1,226 thats very high. This is not a beginner file and its not a lightweight stitch, the largest 5.01 x 4.30 inch version runs 26,406 stitches. Tape a firm cutaway stabiliser behind any fabric before you hoop, otherwise the density causes distortion. Run underlay on every colour section. The colour sequence goes: green stem, orange body first pass, dark amber shading, dark red shadow, cream/white for the teeth areas, white tooth highlights, dark teal outline, salmon mid-tone, pink gum areas, rust dark tones, tan mid shading, then black outline and brow last. A chart sits in the production PDF.
One customer ordered the 5-inch run last October for the back of an adult black hoodie and sent her snap from a halloween street parade. Stitch this on the back of adult halloween hoodies, the front chest of costume jackets, halloween tote bags for older kids, or onto felt for large decorative patches. Skip baby-cute placements, the design needs grown-up garments to read right. Pop it at 3 inches minimum if its going on a wearable, smaller than that and the fang detail starts mushing together.

About the artist
Reyazul Masud Riham, hand-drawing every design on this site
Every design on Re Embroidery is hand-digitized by one person. Each file gets sketched, color-matched, and stitch-tested on real fabric before it earns a place in the shop. No team. No auto-conversion from images. Just slow, deliberate work, sometimes three or four days per design.
That's the joy I work for.
The hard part is finding my designs re-uploaded and resold elsewhere. So when you buy from Re Embroidery, you're paying one real person for the file you're about to download. That matters.
