Stitched this one out last christmas to see how those red bloom petals would land on a white linen napkin and the colour came out really really rich. Ive built the design around a heart silhouette, not a simple outline but a full wreath-style arrangement where the poinsettia blooms and holly fill the entire heart shape. 2 large red poinsettias sit left and right, each with layered satin fill, and the dark green holly leaves fan out between them with red berries tucked in. Theres black snowflake star shapes scattered in the gaps, 4 of em across the upper section.
Centre of the heart has the script text, "Merry Christmas" in dark green with that slightly looping casual lettering style, sits between the 2 poinsettias. At the very top of the heart there's a pair of small ornament balls in yellow with dark green filigree swirl detail above them, kinda like a bow or decorative top. Its only 4 colours total but it dosent look sparse, the density is 807 which means the fills are tight and the poinsettia petals have real depth to em.
Five sizes from 3.20 inches wide up to 6.84 inches. Stitches run 18,638 at the smallest to 41,409 at the largest. With 4 colour changes and 77 trims in the smaller sizes, this actually stitches out cleaner than you'd expect for a design with this much going on. My daughter stitched the 5.5-inch version onto a red cotton apron and it looked gorgeous against the fabric. Back it with a good cutaway stabiliser, the holly and poinsettia fills are dense and wide. Ping me through the shop if theres anything wrong with the file and I'll get it sorted right 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.
