Its a round ornament shape with the words Merry Christmas written inside it in flowing red cursive. Not a boring block font, its a proper calligraphy-style script with long swooping tails on the letters that fill most of the ball interior. Green bow on top, a little decorative green swirl hanging off the bottom, small scattered red stars filling any space between the script strokes.
Only two colours and the sequencing is clean, green goes first for the bow and bottom swirl, then red for the script and stars, so theres just the one colour change mid-stitch. Cant get simpler than that. Six sizes from 2.51 up to 7.51 inches wide, stitch range 5,695 to 18,681. Density is 390 stitches per inch which is medium, plays nice with both woven cotton and felt. A customer ordered a batch of personalised felt ornaments last Christmas using the 3-inch size and said the script stayed clean and crisp even on the soft felt base with just tearaway underneath.
And the script at the smaller sizes stays readable down to about 3 inches. Use tearaway on woven fabrics and a no-show mesh on felt cutouts. Avoid loosely woven fabrics where the running stitch paths drag. Stitch it on red velvet with green thread for an inverted colourway if you want something different.

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.
