Green christmas ornament with a reindeer. Five words but theres a lot more going on here than that. The central element is a large round ornament ball with a reindeer face at the top, antlers fanning out wide on both sides. A small christmas tree is silhouetted on the curved surface of the ornament, like a snow-globe pressed flat into a single plane. Two smaller hanging balls sit on thin strings either side. A full arc of pine sprigs runs along the bottom and a five-pointed star caps the very top. Single dark green, no colour changes at all.
14 trims in the stitch path because of all the pine needle and antler tip detail. Smallest size is 2.39 inches wide at just under 13k stitches. Large at 5.12 inches its nearly 31k. My daughter stitched this on cotton napkins last christmas at the 4-inch size and said it sat completely flat with zero pulling. Use firm tearaway on woven cotton and the cutwork lines stay clean. Stitch on white, cream, navy, dark red or black for best contrast. Dont use mid-tone greens for obvious reasons.
The narrow width across all 5 sizes is handy for spots where wide designs wont fit. Pop it at the chest pocket on a shirt, in the corner of a pillowcase, or centred on a tea towel. Ping me if a file gives trouble and Ill sort it quickly.

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.
