Two dolphins caught mid-leap, curving up and over each other in that classic arc shape, with a crescent moon in the top left corner and a few four-pointed stars scattered around. The waves below are done in loose blue line work, just enough to anchor the whole scene without overdoing it. this design that reads as decorative rather than realistic, which is actually what makes it work so well on home decor.
The colour palette is where it gets interesting. Purple fills blend into pink then shift to blue across the dolphin bodies. Gold stars give it just enough warmth to stop it looking cold. One customer ran this for a beach house throw pillow last summer and said it looked exactly right against the coastal decor she already had. Pop a medium tearaway under your fabric before you hoop, the satin fill areas are smooth but youre still going to want proper stabiliser under there, especially on terry cloth or lighter cotton. Dont skip it on towels.
Six colours in total, 9 sizes from 2.89 inches wide up to 6.2 by 7.51 inches. Stitch range of 14,332 up to 32,483 depending on size. Use the mid-range sizes on tote bags and cushion covers, save the largest for a full towel border or jacket back panel. Density isnt heavy so it stitches up faster than it looks.

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.
