The gnome is sitting inside the pumpkin, not next to it. Thats what makes this one land. That big round orange shape is the gnomes whole torso and most of his hat, drawn in a classic round pumpkin silhouette. A small green leaf pokes up at the very tip. A loose curly green vine wraps around the right side like it grew there naturally. The gnomes tiny feet stick out at the bottom, toes pointing slightly outward. Below the composition, the word pumpkin is lettered in a bouncy hand-drawn script. Seven colours and 5 sizes, stitch range is 13,519 at 4 inches up to 30,364 at 8 inches.
Most of the density lives in the orange satin fill across the main gnome-pumpkin torso. professional tools digitised it with directional fill running top to bottom on each rib segment which gives ya those subtle curved ridges, not a flat orange blob. The vine and leaf sit in bright lime green, just lil amounts of it, but its what pulls the composition together. The script lettering at the base uses running stitch with a double-layered underlay so its firm even on softer fabrics. Dont skip the underlay pass, the script gets wobbly without it and youre gonna notice.
I get alot of orders for this one in late september and early october from people doing autumn classroom decor. One kindergarten teacher told me she puts the 4-inch on every apron pocket for her art class and they all go nuts for the lil feet sticking out the bottom. She stitched thirty of em before october half term. Honestly the feet are the best detail, and the vine. You know what, just stitch it and youll see what I mean.
Go with cream linen or natural cotton for the most organic look. The orange really pops on oatmeal. Use cutaway stabiliser on stretchy fabrics because the dense satin torso section can pucker on jersey without it. Pick the smallest 4-inch for pocket placements and the 6 or 8 inch for centred front panels. Slow the machine down on the word at the base, that script text is thin and the needle wants to rush through it.

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.
