Ghost pumpkin combo here is basically a film still in thread. Tall hooded reaper figure cradling a lit jack-o-lantern, robe draping from the hood down past the hands in long directional satin streaks, half rust orange and half slate blue-grey, like the lantern light is bouncing off one side only. Under the hood theres just black and 2 glowing yellow eye slits, no face at all. Pretty effective shortcut for spooky.
Warm pumpkin sits as the anchor in the middle. Crosshatch shading spans every ridge, pushing the orange from amber down into a deeper burnt tone, and the carved triangle eyes plus jagged grin glow hard against the dark robe. Stem is a stubby forest green. 8 colours total and the layering between robe gradient and lantern glow makes the design feel lit from within rather then just printed on. Black outlines hold it all together so it stays readable even at the small hoop sizes.
Stitches sit at 12,355 on the tiny 3.49-inch hoop and climb to 34,588 at the larger end. Density runs around 1165 so on bigger sizes pair a heavy cutaway with topping for sweatshirts or fleece pile. On smooth canvas or twill, a medium cutaway is plenty. Hoop tight or that long robe satin underlay wont stay flat under those passes.
Nine total sizes between 3.49 and 7.5 across, which covers patch territory through full back-of-jacket placement. Digitisation handles the gradient transition between rust and slate so the robe shading stays smooth instead of stepping at colour breaks. Stitch onto solid black, charcoal, or deep midnight navy where the glowing lantern and yellow eyes really read. Last october one customer ran the 6-inch onto a charcoal canvas tote and said her teenager wouldnt put it down.
Holler over a quick note if a format doesnt load after checkout and Ill drop a fresh file your way same afternoon.

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.
