This one is that Christmas-meets-wild-side combo that sells every single holiday season. The heart is pure leopard print, orange spots ringed in black on a cream base, and then right on top of it sits a proper red Santa hat tilted to the side with a grey pompom and a thick white cuff. Its fun, its festive, and its not the same christmas tree youve seen a hundred times already.
5 colour changes to work through: red, white, grey, orange, black in that order. The spot shapes in the heart body are satin-filled with a black applique-style outline around each one, so each spot reads as a solid unit at any size. At 995 stitches per square inch this is a dense design, reach for a cutaway stabiliser with firm body and pop a topping over any napped fabric like fleece so the spots dont sink into the pile.
5 sizes from 2.38 inches up to 7.51 inches tall. Smallest is 16,433 stitches, largest hits 38,123. A customer last december, the 5-inch hoop runs clean on a christmas stocking in black fabric and said the orange against the black looked incredible, she sold 6 of them at a craft fair that weekend. Thats the only size I'd change the background colour for. Stitch on black fabric for maximum contrast. Skip light grey or tan backgrounds where the orange spots fade into the base. Reach out if you want advice on stabiliser weights for a specific project.

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.
