So this one reads more like a gothic manor than a silly cartoon house, and thats kind of the point. The whole structure is a solid black silhouette with multiple turrets at different heights, that classic uneven roofline that looks like someone started with a plan and kept changing it. The windows are where it gets interesting. Theres a large round window centred on the main facade, and then rows of arched and rectangular windows on either side, all filled in yellow and amber so they glow against the black. It genuinely looks like someones home lit up from the inside on a dark October night.
Bats sit around the upper towers, not cartoonishly big, just the right scale to suggest movement without competing with the house itself. The hill the building rises from uses the same dense black as the structure, so the whole thing reads as one cohesive shape from a distance. Up close the directional stitching on the hill slopes follows the terrain, which is a digitising choice that adds texture without needing extra colours.
5 sizes, 3 inches up to 7 inches. The 7-inch is where this really earns its name, the window detail holds and the bats read as actual bats rather than dark smudges. A customer who makes Halloween wall hoops sent me a photo of the 7-inch in a 10-inch bamboo frame and it looked like proper Halloween art.
Lay a poly cutaway on woven fabric because the black body is dense and needs solid backing. Hoop it tight or the hill edges lift. Skip thin interfacing, it wont hold the density. Send me a message if theres a file issue and Ill sort it straight away.

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.
