Stitched this one out as the more colourful sibling to the grey elephant and its a completely different vibe. Body is a bright aqua-teal with hot pink inner ears, and the contrast is what makes it pop off the fabric. Two small peach bows sit one on each ear, not a headband just tiny bow ties tucked into the ear fold. The elephant is mid-run with arms out wide and front legs lifted, so theres real movement in the pose.
Six colours in the file: teal body, pink ears, peach bow, white highlights, dark outline, and eye iris detail. Density is 843 stitches per square inch, which is high but not extreme, and the biggest size runs 36,095 stitches at 6.11 by 7.01 inches. The smallest goes down to 3.5 by 4.01 at about 17,000 stitches, so its more manageable for smaller hoops. Four sizes total, digitised in my usual software so the colour registration is tight between that teal fill and the pink ear sections.
Gonna be honest, this one gets ordered alot for gender-reveal and baby shower stuff because the colours are bright without being exclusively pink or blue. A customer ordered 2 of these last spring for a twin baby shower, one on a white onesie and one on a soft fleece swaddle, and she said the teal-and-pink combo kinda worked for both the boy and girl twins. Thats the flexibility you get when the palette sits in that aqua zone.
Use a medium-weight cutaway stabiliser. Woven cotton, smooth fleece, or interlock jersey all work. White and cream backgrounds are best as the teal really needs contrast. Avoid busy prints underneath, the outline detail gets lost. Hoop firmly and do a colour run test for that teal, different thread brands read it anywhere from sky blue to green.
Ping me a quick note if the ear bows come out smaller than the preview and Ill send you the adjusted registration file.

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.
