Heres the happy dancing bird and its honestly one of those designs that puts you in a better mood just looking at it. The chick is mid-dance, wings flung up wide, eyes scrunched closed, beak wide open like shes letting out a tiny yelp of joy. Two lil side birds float beside her cheering her on. Goes from 19k to 44k stitches across 9 sizes.
13 thread colours run through this one. Mustard yellow body, cream belly with little blue heart, coral and teal stripes on the inner wings, two pink cheek dots, plus mint and rose watercolour drips that pool around her feet. Density sits at 837 so its a medium-dense piece, sews nice and crisp on a domestic machine without bogging down.
Stitch on cream cotton tee, soft yellow fleece or pale jersey and the colours sing. Skip dark fabrics here, the cream belly and watercolour drips lose all the depth on navy or black. Use a cutaway stabiliser on knits, the wing area has alot of directional stitching and you want it to keep its shape after the third wash.
And i made this one specifically for nursery decor and toddler birthday merch, both have been busy this season. One customer ordered six matching bibs for her daughters first birthday party last spring and sent me a photo of every kid wearing one at the cake table. The dancing pose reads as celebration which is why it works for milestone gifts and good-news cards too.
Pop the 3.5 inch on a baby onesie chest, run the 7 inch across a quilt block centre or canvas tote front. Run polyester thread on knits so the colours dont fade. But hit me up if the file gives trouble on your hoop setup and ill walk you through the fix.

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.
