This is the devil ghost, a round white ghost wearing small red devil horns on the top of its head, its mouth open in a taunting smirk, and its holding an orange carved jack-o-lantern pumpkin out in front. The whole body fills in light blue-grey with darker shading on the sides to give it that rounded, inflated shape. The jack-o-lantern is proper halloween, triangular eyes and a jagged mouth, all in orange satin with the carved details in dark lines. At the bottom, two curly black tendril feet curl outward like the ghost is hovering just off the ground.
8 colours in here: the main figure in blue-grey, the shadow layer in a deeper slate, the pumpkin body in orange, the pumpkin mouth/glow in orange-red, dark red for small accent details, white for the inner ghost fill, black for all the outline work plus the curly feet. Seven colour changes. Stitch counts run from 9,554 at the 2.29 by 2.50 inch smallest size all the way to 26,813 at the 3.50 by 5.50 inch largest. Density is 969, thats high, so Run a stable cutaway sheet beneath the hoop, no exceptions. The ghost body shading layer especially needs the fabric completely immobile or the blue-grey tones will stitch on top of each other and muddy.
4 sizes only on this one, smallest is 2.29 wide by 2.50 tall, largest is 3.50 by 5.50 inches. Smaller scale than some halloween designs but the 8-colour detail rewards being seen up close. On any fuzzy or textured fabric like fleece or velvet, back it with cutaway and Add WSS film over fleece so the black outlines and the pumpkin face details stay razor clean. Skip the topping and youll lose definition in the facial features.
Halloween kids stuff mostly: trick-or-treat bags, costumes, kid sweatshirts, bibs for halloween-themed baby photos. One customer last halloween ordered this on 3 bags for their kids, said the devil angle made their mum laugh when she saw it. Stitch it on black felt or orange canvas for the full spooky effect. Add a name below in matching thread and you have got a personalised trick-or-treat bag that actually looks cool. The cheeky devil twist makes it work on younger kids items without being the scary kind of halloween.
What people are using this design for
A starting point. The design works for plenty more than just this list, this is what folks have stitched it onto most.
- Kids Halloween trick-or-treat bags and pouchesTrick-or-treat bags in canvas need a firm cutaway, the 8-colour density is high and the fabric must stay flat
- Halloween party costumes and kids sweatshirtsKids sweatshirts in fleece need both a cutaway base and water-soluble topping to protect the ghost body shading
- Baby halloween bib or onesie for photo shootsBaby bibs in cotton terry are great for the 2.29 inch small size, it fits a standard bib front without crowding
- Seasonal hand towel or kitchen towel for halloween decorKitchen towels in linen-cotton blends show the blue-grey ghost shading really clearly on white or cream fabric
- Halloween pillow cover or accent cushionPillow covers in cotton canvas take a medium cutaway, the large 3.50 by 5.50 inch size centres well on a 12 inch cushion
- Small zipper pouch for halloween candy or treatsSmall zipper pouches at the 2.5 inch size are quick halloween gifts, the compact design still shows all 8 colours clearly

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.
