Half wreath split right down the middle. Right side has tall pointed sunflower leaf petals fanning outward in a quarter ring, the petals taper from a fat base to a sharp tip and curve in toward the centre. Left side is a flock of small butterflies, maybe a dozen plus a few extras of em, arranged in a quarter arc that mirrors the petal side so it reads as one circular wreath frame truly cleanly. Butterflies vary in size, biggest cluster near the centre, scaling smaller as they drift outward. Empty middle, no fill inside the ring, its a kinda just clean frame.
Single colour orange thread for the whole piece, which is unusual for a botanical floral design but the silhouette style sells it. Density runs 409 in my usual software so the petal fills stay flat and even, no puckering on lighter cotton tees. Stitch direction follows the petal length on the right edge so light catches the satin like real flower leaves, and the butterflies fill solid. Pre-trim the jumps between the small butterflies because theres 28 trims on the small run and they pile up fast.
Five sizes total. Starts at 3.5 inch (8,359 stitches), then 4.5 inch (12,000ish stitches), 5.5 inch (16,500ish stitches), 6.5 inch (around 19,000 stitches), then 7.5 inch run topping out at 22,013 stitches. Hoop with a tearaway for smaller sizes, swap to a light cutaway above 5.5 inch on stretch fabrics. Try a coral or peach thread sub if you wanna soften the look, deep teal also works well on cream linens. Dont skip a topper on terrycloth.
I made the original version a couple summers ago for my niece who wanted a single-thread design for her embroidery machines first solo run. Honestly its been my second-best monthly seller through last spring. Run the 5.5 size on a cotton tote front with a small monogram below the wreath, the empty centre frames a name perfect. Stitch on a fresh cream canvas or sage linen for the strongest contrast against the orange.

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.
