Its a tabby kitten, sitting upright, front paws together on a small patch of green grass. The body is the most impressive part technically. Brown and black stripe fills are laid at slightly different angles across different fur sections so the coat actually reads as tabby rather than a flat brown blob. Chest and face are cream-peach with a lighter directional fill to separate them from the darker body stripes.
Those enormous round eyes in vivid electric blue are the centrepiece of the face, paired with a tiny hot-pink nose right in the middle. Combining both colours is very deliberate, it gives a kawaii-realism quality where its realistic enough to recognise as a tabby but the eyes are just a bit too bright and round to be entirely naturalistic. Works really well on fabric because it reads from three metres away.
On top of the head sits the flower crown. Pick out the yellow daisy petals with orange centres, pink blossoms tucked between, teal green leaves at the sides. To the left and right of the kitten, tall pink poppy-style blooms rise up on green stems, a closed bud on one side, a full open bloom on the other. Eleven colours total and the density is high at 1,454 stitches per square inch so the largest size at 71k stitches is a long stitch-out. Use medium to heavy cutaway, hoop firmly, and slow your needle speed on the fur sections or the thin stripe detail starts to skip.
White, soft cream, pale sage and baby pink all work well as background fabric. Nine sizes from 3.5 by 3.07 inches up to 7.5 by 6.57. I had one customer this spring make the large size on a pale pink tote and she said shed had more compliments on it than any bag shed ever bought in a shop. Thats the kind of reaction this design reliably gets, and its not suprising when you see it stitched out properly.
Email me if a colour run in the fur striping misaligns and Ill realign the stitch start.

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.
