Put this one together this january after getting requests for a simple uplifting design that wasnt too babyish and wasnt too adult either. The rainbow arc sits at the top, six clean colour stripes, and the words Be Happy sit underneath in a rounded script. Six colours total, the satin bands on the rainbow are digitised so each stripe has its own directional fill and they dont bleed into each other. Stitch count ranges from 11,764 at 3.51 inches up to 36,668 at the full 7.51 inch size.
Hooped on cotton, this one comes out actually sharp. Im a big fan of this design on tote bags personally, the wide rainbow arc fills the width nicely and the density at 750 means its not gonna pull the fabric even on lighter-weight weaves. Add tearaway behind stable woven fabrics, but switch to cutaway if youre customising on knits or stretch items. The script letters benefit from an underlay pass, otherwise at smaller sizes the fabric texture can show through. Add a topping film if youre sewing onto towelling or fleece.
One customer put this on a batch of kids lunchboxes as a school-year gift and said it was the easiest design to recolour because the 6 colour stops are so clearly separated in the file. She swapped the classic rainbow for a pastel version and it looked gorgeous. Five sizes, 3.51 to 7.51 inches, so theres a version for nearly every project. Reach out if theres a problem with any file in the pack and Ill replace it no questions asked.

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.
