The concept here is the ghost sitting inside the pumpkin rather than beside it. You get this tall narrow composition where most of what you see is the big bold orange jack-o-lantern and the lil ghost is just visible peeking out from the carved opening at the top. Its actually a really clever take on the ghost-pumpkin pairing that I havent seen done this way much.
Five colours, 4 colour changes. Simple palette, orange body, white ghost, two grey tones, black satin outline. The pumpkin face is bold with angular triangular eyes and an asymmetric jagged grin, which gives it more personality than a standard carved face. Run this on a medium tear-away stabiliser on woven fabrics, the density is 975 and the stitch count tops out at 13,102 at the 4-inch size so its not a heavy fill. One customer asked about it and tiny 2 inch sit-down lands clean on a left-chest baby tee, she confirmed it stitched out no issues. Pick the 3-inch file for shirt pockets, the proportions land right at that scale. Use a water-soluble topping if youre stitching on anything with a nap or visible texture.
Three sizes: 2, 3, and 4 inch. Stitch range 5,755 to 13,102. Digitised in Wilcom EmbroideryStudio. The tall portrait orientation suits things like the front of a small purse, the chest pocket area of a shirt, or patches where horizontal space is limited. The 5-colour palette keeps thread changes to a minimum, which is handy when youre running a small batch of halloween items in october and dont want to rethread constantly.

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.
