The concept here is a butterfly that cant decide what it is. Left side: a full cluster of blooms, pink five-petal flowers, a fat yellow flower in the middle, a round aqua one and a green leaf sprig tucked behind em. Right side: the classic monarch stripe pattern, thick black lines on white, the way a monarch actually looks with those dramatic wing bars. Both halves join at the body which is solid black. The split is clean and deliberate and its genuinely one of the more interesting designs in the catalogue for that reason.
5 colours plus black: pink, yellow, aqua, green, and the white ground of the right wing comes from leaving the base fabric showing through. 4 colour changes per run. Stitch count starts at 16,975 on the 3.15-inch size and climbs to 41,151 on the largest 7.51-inch version, which is where you start really seeing the satin column detail on each flower petal edge. The density at 813 is well-matched to medium-weight cotton and the transitions between floral sections are tight and clean. I get messages from small boutique owners about this one pretty regularly, a women's clothing shop in may told me it was their best-selling embroidered tee that spring and they had reordered the file twice.
5 sizes from 3.15 inches up to 6.74 wide, tallest is 7.51 inches at the largest. The portrait-leaning shape fits well centred on a chest, on a bag front or on a jacket back for the larger sizes. Dm me if the file needs tweaking for your machine and I'll pull it up straight away.
Stitch on white or cream cotton for the clearest colour read. The aqua and pink both need a light base to sit bright, and the black wing stripes need contrast below em or they muddy. Skip dark fabric unless youre doing the left floral side only and planning to applique the flower fills separately. Use cutaway stabiliser because the satin work on the flower petals and the dense black stripe fills both need solid backing. Hoop tight, run a slow first pass if its your first time with this file, the density builds fast in the flower cluster section.

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.
