Three round lil birds in a row, each one about the same squat height but with a different colour body. The tangerine one is on the left, sky blue in the middle, butter yellow on the right. They all have the same slightly grumpy cartoon face -- big round eyes with a black outline, a tiny flat beak, and no neck to speak of. Its a bunch of personality packed into a wide horizontal format, which is why it works so well across a white pique tee chest.
Done in Wilcom EmbroideryStudio so the colour sequencing routes through all 3 colours and nine separate body fills left to right, keeping jumps short across the trio. With 18 thread colours in total the file has a lot of stops, but the sequencing keeps them grouped so ya arent jumping back and forth constantly. The density sits at 857 stitches per square centimetre -- light enough that the round cartoon bodies dont go stiff on lighter fabrics.
A customer ordered this last spring for a set of matching tees for their kids bird-watching birthday party. They hooped white pique and said the tangerine bird especially came out really clean and solid. Use a light tearaway stabiliser for most cotton or pique fabrics -- the design isnt heavy enough to need cutaway unless youre on a stretchy knit. Pop a layer of water-soluble topping over the bird eyes if youre on any textured fabric, the satin outlines are fine on smooth but can sink into terry or waffle.
Pick the 5.5-inch size for a pocket placement or a smaller tee -- it still reads as 3 distinct birds at that width. Best results on light or white fabrics where all 18 colours show without competing with a dark background. Avoid hooping bias-cut fabric or anything with alot of stretch, the long trio needs a stable base to keep all 3 birds aligned.

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.
