A chunky cartoon pickup truck with those rounded retro proportions sits in the centre of the frame, the bed stacked with halloween pumpkins, some carved, some plain. Happy Halloween arches above in warm white lettering that follows a slight curve over the cab roof. Rust-coloured fall leaves are scattered around the wheel wells and behind the bumper like the truck just drove through a pile of them. Its got that nostalgic seasonal energy, nothing scary about it, all warmth.
Six thread colours: charcoal for the truck body, vivid pumpkin orange filling the stacked pumpkin bed, warm white for the lettering, rust for the leaf accents, sage green covering the pumpkin stems and a small vine detail, and pale yellow for the headlight glass. thats around 833 stitches in each square inch, in the denser range for a truck design because of the lettering and the pumpkin stack detail combined. Wilcom handled the underlay well so the text stitching sits flat and the arch reads cleanly.
Dm me with any questions and Ill come back to you quick. This is one thats come up a bit late in the year for some buyers, the narrow vertical proportion at 2.63 inches wide by 3.5 tall means it fits on a pocket or sleeve patch perfectly. A customer wanted it specifically for a small canvas pouch she was making for halloween treats. She picked the 2.63-inch size, stitched it on an orange canvas front panel and the charcoal truck really sang against that background.
Stick with medium cutaway on fleece or sweatshirt material. Use tearaway on woven cotton and canvas. Hoop snug and slow the machine on the Happy Halloween text section, the satin columns are narrow and need clean needle entry especially at the curve of the arch. Take your time through the colour changes on the stacked pumpkins, theres 5 separate ones each needing a trim and rushing that section shows in the finished result.
5 sizes, smallest at 2.63 by 3.5 inches, largest at 5.63 by 7.5 inches. All 8 embroidery file formats packed in the download.

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.
