Cowboy Lizard Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Cartoon lizard in a cowboy hat under You've Buttered Your Last Biscuit, pointing a revolver at you while the text arches around it. Its the specific combination of very formal threat delivered by a reptile in denim jeans that does it for me.

The lizard is fully dressed, yellow shirt, red bandana knotted at the neck, brown cowboy hat, proper holster and boots. Hes not messing around. Grass green scaled skin with detailed directional stitching on the body, denim blue jeans, tan boots. The revolver sits at the end of a raised arm and two little motion dash marks sit either side of the figure to make it look like the lil guy just drew. Twelve colours total, which is the highest colour count I run on a western piece, but every colour is doing a job here. Nothing is thrown in for decoration. Its doing work.

The text is the other half of the design. It arcs above in chunky block caps with a tight double-layer satin outline that gives the letters that raised embossed look, and again below in a slightly different script weight for balance. industry tools handled the lettering underlay carefully so the letter fills sit flat without sinking into each other. Use heavy cutaway stabiliser, hoop snug, and run a reduced speed on the lettering sections. Stitch count: 18,545 up to 41,987 across 9 size files between 3.51 and 7.51 inches wide. Skip jersey on the bigger sizes or the text pulls and the letters go wobbly. Message me if you need help with the colour order and Ill walk you through it.

She ordered the 6-inch version last march for a custom birthday shirt for her brother who ranches on weekends. Said he wore it to the feed store and somebody offered to buy it off his back. Use white or cream cotton so the full 12-colour palette reads, dont bury it in dark fabric or you lose the green lizard skin.
