I drew this one after a customer kept asking for something that felt Halloween but still had a bit of romance to it. The skeleton hand is positioned with two boney fingers pinching up a small red heart, that same gesture everyone does in photos now. The hand itself is white with thin black outlines and just enough shading to give it depth, not flat at all. The red heart pops against it perfectly, almost like the skeleton found something worth holding onto.
Comes in 1 size at 1.70 x 3.51 inches with 5,273 stitches. Its a fairly tight design so density is dialled close to the original, dont loosen it or the finger detail will blur. Use tearaway stabiliser on stable woven fabrics like denim or canvas, cutaway on anything with stretch. Hoop firm because the fine line work in the finger joints needs a steady base.
This one places really well on a left chest pocket area on a black or dark tee, which is honestly where most people run it. A friend of mine stitched it onto the front of a canvas tote for a Halloween party gift and it looked suprising good, way better than I expected at that scale. You can also split the red heart to a brighter scarlet thread than default if you want it to really jump.
Holler me a chat note if the sizing isnt working for your project and Ill sort it out fast.
What people are using this design for
A starting point. The design works for plenty more than just this list, this is what folks have stitched it onto most.
- Left chest Halloween teeWorks cleanly on dark cotton tees where the white bone outlines really read against the fabric.
- Canvas tote front panelA customer ran it centered on a natural canvas tote and the contrast with the dark ink looked striking at Halloween markets.
- Trick-or-treat bag patchSmall enough to fit neatly on a trick-or-treat bag without crowding other design elements.
- Black denim jacket frontThe fine line detail holds well on tight denim weave, great for a front panel or chest pocket area.
- Gothic zip pouchZip pouches in black or burgundy faux leather give this design a gothic keepsake feel.
- Halloween hoop wall artStretched in a 5-inch hoop and hung on the wall it reads as spooky-cute art rather than just seasonal craft.
- Spooky beanie frontFits a beanie front without distortion, especially on 100% acrylic or wool-blend fabric with cutaway backing.

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.
