Hearts in three colours following a big loose swirl from the top-left corner down and around into a tight spiral at the bottom. Big hearts anchor the outer arc, a solid red one, a solid black one, a blush pink one. Then they shrink and scatter as they follow the curve inward, mixing red and black and pink right down to tiny dot-sized shapes at the centre. The whole thing has that feeling of hearts caught mid-spin. It reads differently from most valentine designs because theres no symmetry to it.
Three colours total, cherry red, blush pink, and black. Low density at 272 which is whats keeping the design so light and airy, the hearts dont compete or crowd the fabric. Stitch count stays manageable, 5,344 on the petite 3.5 and 15,120 at the full 7.5-inch. Five sizes in the pack. Because the composition is roughly square its flexible across a lot of placements without needing rotation.
When I first put this up my kindergarten teacher customer ordered it in bulk for class valentines projects. She stitched the small size onto little cotton pouches and the kids filled em with sweets to hand out. Suprised me how fast that order came through, she placed it in the first week of january before I even had time to promote it. I get a message from her every february now.
Stitch on white or cream fabric and the three colours pop without fighting each other. Pale grey works too, the black hearts get a soft border against it. Skip anything darker than mid-grey because the blush pink hearts go invisible on dark ground. Use the 7-inch size on a cushion front or tote bag where the full swirl arc has room to breathe. Try the smaller sizes on a patch, hair clip backing or card insert. Low stitch count.
Tearaway stabiliser works fine on stable wovens at this density. Hoop snug and make sure the fabric is taut so the individual heart fills sit flat. Text me if you cant locate the download link after purchase and ill send it straight to you.

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.
