This one packs a lot in. Sunflower sitting dead center, petals fanning out in a full rainbow rotation so every sector is a different colour. The disc has an orange crosshatch fill with 'Be Kind' stitched in white script right across the middle. Arcing over the top in separate coloured block letters is 'Teach Love Inspire Hope' with small puzzle-piece asterisks between each word. Under the sunflower, puzzle pieces scatter out like confetti in all directions, each one a different colour. Then at the base, 'AUTISM' in big chunky rainbow block letters followed by 'Awareness' in black script underneath.
Theres a lot going on, but nothing feels crowded. The whole composition sits inside a roughly circular footprint, so it centres clean on a chest or back panel. Twelve colours is a proper colour sequence to manage, each stop is clearly separated and the changes follow a logical visual order from the petals down through the lettering. Running time on the 8-inch is on the longer side but youll see from the thread total that its consistently dense throughout.
Last April a customer making awareness week shirts for a local support group went with the 6-inch on standard tees and said the puzzle confetti section was a big hit with the kids who saw the finished shirts. Stitch count on even the smallest 5-inch starts at 32k, so give yourself time for the run. Back it with a woven cutaway, dont skip that step or the dense fill areas will pull the jersey under the wide block letters. Ease the machine speed on the lettering sections and you'll get clean edges on all the text.
Use white or pale cream fabric, theres no way around it with white thread in the stop sequence. Hoop it snug and run a tension check before the full piece. Pop it on a white tee and the twelve colours land exactly as they should.

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.
