Knocked out a proper happy ghost and the expression came out great. Wide open mouth, black dot eyes, and that little pink tongue sitting right there inside the grin so it looks like hes mid-shout at a Halloween party. The body flows and ripples to the right with one tail-arm raised up, kinda like hes waving at you. Not hovering politely, actually moving. The whole pose has that caught-mid-action energy that kids realy respond to.
Three colours: white for the main body fill, black for the eye dots and outline, and a small pink satin fill for the tongue. Thats the accent that separates it from a generic ghost outline. The tongue adds maybe 200 stitches to the total but its what people notice first. Stitch count goes from 2,830 on the smallest to 7,429 on the 2.92 by 4.01 inch version, so it stitches fast even at the largest size. Density is 634 stitches per square inch which is medium, no speed drama on most machines.
The smallest size at 1.47 by 2.01 fits on a shirt cuff, a hat brim or a small patch. Im pleased with how the eyes and tongue hold at that scale, the black satin dots dont fill over and the pink stays clean without colour bleed. A customer who makes personalised Halloween shirts for local schools ordered 3 dozen shirts last year with the large on the left chest, said parents came back asking if she was doing Christmas next. Use medium-weight cutaway stabiliser and a sharp needle, the dense mouth area benefits from a fresh needle.
Pop this on kids Halloween shirts, trick-or-treat bags, party favour pouches, or Halloween pyjama sets. Skip heavy fleece or plush, the open mouth detail blurs in deep pile fabric. Pick woven cotton or smooth poplin for the cleanest result on the tongue and eye fills.

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.
