Star balloons instead of round ones, thats what makes this different from the usual birthday cluster. Six of them, each a proper five-point shape with a clean filled center. Colors run black, teal, pink, orange, red and yellow - one color per star, thin strings all gathering at the bottom into a single tied point so it reads like a real bouquet you'd see at a party shop.
Light design in terms of stitch count - under 2,200 stitches at the 2-inch size - so it lays completely flat on lightweight cotton or jersey without pulling. Thats the one to use on onesies or thin shirt fabric. At 7 inches the star points get real definition and each balloon reads clearly as its own shape. Use a light cut-away on stretchy fabric either way, the string section at the base can tug a little on loose knits. Hoop tight and you wont have issues.
A customer who does space-themed birthday parties messaged me last summer asking specifically for star balloons because round ones didnt fit her theme. I know that sounds like a niche thing but this design gets pulled for new year shirts and galaxy parties just as often as birthdays now, so it wasnt niche at all. She reordered twice before the end of August.
Six sizes in the download. Load the right one for your hoop, stitch straight through. Message me if there's a size question or stabiliser question and I'll help you figure it out.

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.
