I put this one together back in september for the round of halloween orders that start coming in early, people planning costumes and gifts weeks out. One customer ordered three of these for her kids tote bags and asked if she could reduce it to 2" without losing the pumpkin face detail. It holds fine. The design is 2.3" wide and 3.5" tall, nine colours, 17,420 stitches at a density of 335.
Stick to firm cutaway on knits or fleece, you really cant skip that with 335 density on stretchy fabric. Tearaway is fine on woven cotton. The pumpkin section alone has five colour stops, orange fill, the carved face detail, the green stem, a highlight pass, and the outline, so plan your changes before sitting down. Occured to me late that bobbin thread matching matters here: the ghost fill is white satin, and if your bobbin doesnt match, you can see it bleeding through on thinner fabrics.
Stitch it on a baby onesie for their first halloween. Pop it on a kids canvas tote for the trick-or-treat run. Run it across a cotton table runner in a repeat with adhesive spray between placements. Add it to a cream throw pillow cover and it looks properly seasonal without being too literal. Keep stitch speed moderate through the dense ghost sections, rushing causes pull distortion you can't press out after the fact.
Comes in all 8 formats, digitised in Wilcom. Text me if theres a format issue and Ill get the right version sent over fast.

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.
