Two plump red ladybugs sitting together in a little patch of grass, one of them holding a bright red heart up on the end of its curly black antenna, like its floating a balloon. Its a simple concept but its genuinely well executed. The shells are solid red with black spots, the grass blades are upright and fresh green, and that little heart sits just above everything like a tiny exclamation mark at the top of the whole design.
Only three colors, green, red, black. Thread changes are minimal and setup is fast. Pop a light cutaway stabiliser under a cotton knit or a tearaway under woven fabric and it'll stitch out cleanly in one sitting. Just three color stops total across 10,000 to nearly 32,000 stitches depending on the size you run, which is about as stress-free as a multi-element nature design gets.
She sent me a photo of this last autumn on a little girls white cotton dress pocket, and I saved it because the scale at 3.5 inches was just right. The heart reads clearly even at the smallest size, you dont lose it. Stitch the 7.5-inch version on a natural canvas tote and it fills the front panel nicely without stretching the design. Use the medium sizes on baby onesie fabric with a light stabiliser and it sits flat.
Reach out if you have any trouble getting the file and I'll get it fixed for you.

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.
