A dalmatian pup sitting straight up, looking right at you with those big teal-blue eyes. The body is white with classic black spots scattered all over, the ears have a warm brown patch at the top, and round the neck theres a red bandana with white polka dots. Front paws sit flat on the ground, tail curves behind. The whole thing has a heavy black outline which gives it that proper cartoon-sticker energy, the kind you see on kids stationery and backpack patches.
7 colours total and 6 colour changes across the run. The smallest size is 22,908 stitches at 2.6" wide and the full 7.5" size climbs to 57,331. Drop a mid cutaway on the white fabric areas or the black spot outlines can shift during stitching. Hoop it properly, dont float it, especially on anything stretch. Dm me if you want advice on thread substitutions, the teal for those eyes can shift quite a bit between thread brands.
The bandana is what sells this design honestly. Without it its a dalmatian portrait, with it its a character. I put this on some kids pencil cases this past spring and people kept asking to buy the finished item rather than the file. I get that reaction with this design more than most, theres something about the bandana detail that makes people want the physical thing. Last winter a dog rescue charity also got in touch wanting it for fundraiser merch. Stitch it on white or pale yellow for full colour impact, try dark navy if you want something more graphic.

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.
