Three dolphins leaping in a diagonal stack and each one is a completely different colour combo. The front one is mostly cobalt blue with a yellow stripe along the side. The middle dolphin is green with a magenta belly. And the one at the back is pink with teal. Below em all theres a teal water line with white foam spray stitched in short satin dashes. Its 15 colours and honestly it needed every single one of em.
The style is straight-up neon poster, like something from the side of a florida beach gift shop van circa 1987. Thick black outlines define each dolphin separately so they dont bleed into each other despite all the colours touching. my main digitising tool handled the digitising and the colour separation is proper, each dolphin section has its own density set so the fills dont fight each other. Stitch counts go from 14,691 at the chest 3.5 right up to 40,143 at the large 7.46-inch version.
I get alot of requests from beach town souvenir shops and kids ocean room decorators for this one. Someone bought the 7-inch last summer for iron-on transfer patches she was selling at a boardwalk market, and she said they sold out on the first weekend. Nine sizes available so ya can scale it for anything from a cap emblem to a full hoodie front.
Go with a white or cream fabric base for max colour pop, the neon tones absolutely sing on light cotton. Skip dark fabric here because the yellow and white spray detail disappears. Hoop firm with a tearaway stabiliser on stable cotton, or cutaway on anything with stretch. The densest area is the middle of the main dolphin, so slow ya machine down when it hits that section. Run it on jersey and check your bobbin thread matches the base fabric colour closely.

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.
