The ghost is the round, puffy kind, not the tall draped kind. More like a blob with little nubby arms and a wiggly base. Its wearing a tall pointed witch hat that honestly looks too big for the head, which is kinda the whole charm of it, the hat tips slightly to one side and theres an orange buckle band stitched across the brim. Its holding a carved pumpkin in front, the pumpkin has the classic triangle eyes and the jagged grin cut-out.
Around the main figure theres a handful of four-point sparkle stars in orange and a couple of small bats, all scattered loosely. None of them are crowded, theres enough breathing room that the whole thing reads as one cheerful Halloween scene rather than a busy mess. The figure itself is just the outline with no fill inside, so whatever fabric colour you stitch onto shows through the ghost form, which is actually a nice detail. On a white tee it looks white. On a pale grey sweatshirt it takes on that grey. Youre getting the colour for free from the base fabric.
2 colour design, black first then orange, 1 colour change stop to manage. Stitch count goes from about 5.8k at the smallest around 3.5 inches wide to just over 15k at the largest around 7.5 inches. Density is on the lighter side at around 296 stitches per square centimetre, which means it sits nicely on lighter weight fabrics without making them stiff.
Email me if you have an issue with any size and Im on it same day. Had a customer last October use this on matching pyjama sets for her whole family and she said the outline-only ghost was actually easier to stitch than she expected because theres no dense fill to fight with. Hoop with a tear-away on stable woven cotton, cutaway on sweatshirt fleece or knits. The underlay is clean from Wilcom so the orange stars wont shift or bleed into the black. Skip dark fabrics unless you want to applique a white base layer first, otherwise the open form reads as the fabric colour and the design can get lost.

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.
