Horizontal composition, 4 sizes, single colour. The crescent moon sits on its side with a skull face nestled in the curve, and a spiderweb fills the space between the moon tips and drapes over the skull forehead. Its more of a graphic icon than a full scene, which is why it works so well on chest placements and bag fronts. Widths go from 2.51 inches up to 5.51 inches. Heights are short, between 1.86 and 4.08 inches, so its a low-profile horizontal band.
Stitch counts from 5787 at the small end up to 13312 on the large. Density is 592, which is a solid medium, enough for clean skull outline edges and the spiderweb strand lines without the design getting stiff. my workhorse software handled the web strand satin keeping those thin radial lines from tunnelling, and the skull eye sockets are open fill areas so theres breathing room in the design. Single colour from start to finish, no stops for thread swaps.
One customer told me last halloween she used the 5.5.5-in run on black canvas apron for a craft market and sold the apron before she even put it on the table. I cant take credit for her apron making skills but the design definitely helped. She said the web catches the light from across the room on a dark fabric.
Layer a firm cutaway stabiliser on knits and stretch cotton. On sturdy wovens like canvas, denim, or cotton twill, tearaway is usually enough. Avoid using this one on very dark fleece without a topping because the spiderweb line work is fine and needs a smooth surface to read clearly. Pick a contrast thread colour for maximum impact, white on black or black on cream linen both look excellent.

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.
