So the phrase is the whole point here and its arranged in a way that actually looks designed, not just words slapped on a grid. Eat comes first in orange block lettering at the top, then drink in purple below it, then and be in smaller orange, then scary in a big curvy purple script that takes up nearly the full bottom width. The size difference between the words creates a hierarchy that looks intentional. Floating around all of it theres a loose scatter of Halloween icons done in sketchy black outline style. Witch hat, ghost, skull, crossbones, pumpkin, bat, spider web. Busy but not cluttered because the icons dont fight the words.
3 thread colours, 5 colour changes. The satin fill on the block letters is dense enough to cover well at the 3-inch size but the real version of this design is the 5-inch and up where the script on scary gets the space it needs to show the swoops and curls properly. The icons are running stitch outlines with minimal fill so they add to the composition without piling on extra stitch count.
A customer who runs Halloween pop-up shops picked up the 5-inch batch last year and sewed them onto foam-backed fabric coasters for a Halloween edition of her shop merch. Said the orange and purple against black velvet was genuinely striking.
Hoop with tear-away on woven cotton or linen. Use cutaway if youre doing sweatshirt fabric or anything with stretch. Add topping on velvet or fleece to keep the surface stitches from sinking into the pile. Best results on flat stable fabric where the purple script can show its full loop detail.

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.
