Cute lil rainbow done entirely in dot style. Each rainbow band is row of fat round bobbles instead of a solid satin band, so the rainbow reads almost like beadwork or a gumball pattern. Pink on the outside, then orange, yellow, green, teal, purple and another orange ring tucked inside. Below the arch sit two cloud puffs both built from black dot outlines, no fill in the cloud bodies just the bobble border.
Total of 9 colours running through the file, but the magic is the consistent dot motif holding everything together. The smallest size sits 2.45 inches across with around 10,729 stitches, the biggest runs 5.24 inches wide at 17,114 stitches. Density stays low because each dot is a small satin bubble, theyre not heavy fills.
I been selling this one heavy for nursery setups and toddler clothing. Last christmas a customer ordered it for her newborns first onesie and the dot style read super soft against the cotton. Another mum stitched it onto a baby muslin blanket for her sisters baby shower. Ive seen em on bibs, burp cloths, the lot.
Stitch on white jersey, mint cotton or pale grey muslin so the colours pop. Skip dark navy or black, the cloud outlines will completely disappear since theres no white fill behind em. Pastel backgrounds let the rainbow sing.
Use a soft tearaway because the dots are small and a heavy cutaway leaves too much bulk behind tiny garments like onesies. Hoop carefully, the dots want even tension or some bobbles flatten. Email me if a colour swap looks wonky and Ill rework 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.
