Round wreath frame in black silhouette papercut style. The Happy Halloween script sits centred in the middle, its got all the classic spooky props tucked around it in cut-out form. A black cat perched on the top of the wreath looking off to one side, two carved jack-o-lantern pumpkins squashed down at the bottom with their grinning faces showing, a spider web stretched across the upper left corner with a fat spider sitting on it, plus three bats flapping around the right side. Whole thing reads like a vintage halloween paper craft.
Single colour black thread, theres no colour stops. Smallest 3.51 inch size hoops at 14,654 stitches. The largest 7.51 inch lands at 35,590 cause the silhouette uses solid black fill across pretty much every element, density at 653. Ive digitised it in Wilcom EmbroideryStudio with the satin underlay running directional under the script letters, the rest is tatami fill with anchor stitches holding the cut-out shapes solid. Thats important cause papercut silhouettes need really really clean edges.
One customer ordered the 7-inch size for a halloween classroom door panel last october, she stitched it on a cream cotton banner with two layers of cutaway and said the silhouette came out looking exactly like a vinyl cut decal but in thread. Shes kinda just leaned it up against the door frame and its become the main decoration. Three of her colleagues asked her where she got it.
Best on cream, white, oat or natural ground where black silhouette reads sharpest. Skip dark fabrics, the whole point of papercut style is contrast against a light ground. Run heavyweight cutaway under cause the solid fill is heavy. Drop a topping on fleece or terry but not on plain cotton. Hoop the 3.51 inch in a 4x4 frame for small accent pieces. The 7.51 inch largest fits centred inside a 5x7 or 6x10 hoop, its great for cushion covers, tote panels, table runners and door banners. Pair with smaller bat or pumpkin accents nearby.

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.
