She sent me a picture last spring of this stitched onto a raincoat back panel for her daughter and honestly it looked perfect. Two big chunky rounded puffs in grey with a rainbow cutting right through the middle: pink, orange, yellow, green, blue, lilac-pink. The black outline between each stripe keeps them crisp and separate even at smaller sizes. Thats what makes it work on kids gear, its readable at a distance.
Pop a layer of medium-weight cutaway stabiliser under it before hooping. The cloud sections have high stitch density and you dont want the fabric shifting during the long grey fill passes. Ten colours to plan: two greys for the cloud body, white for the puff highlights, black for the outlines, and then the 6 rainbow stripes in order. Stitch the grey cloud fills first, then the rainbow bands, then finish with the black outlines. The smaller sizes stitch fast but the cloud detail compresses a bit, so I'd go 4 inches or above if you want the puff shapes to really read.
Nine sizes from 2.42 inches tall top 7-in. its a design that kids absolutley love and adults kinda do too if they're honest. Runs wide rather than tall so it fits jacket backs and pillowcases beautifully. Send me a message anytime you're stuck.

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.
