This triceratops isnt standing around looking calm. Its mid-charge, body low, head forward, mouth wide open showing a row of pointed white teeth and a flat red tongue. The three horns push straight out from the face, the two long brow horns and the shorter nasal horn below, all in grey-white satin. Eight colours in total, and its proper bright green, the kind of green that reads from across a school canteen.
Body fill uses a mid-green tatami base with directional layering that follows the scale patterns down the back and flanks. Belly and inner leg areas shift to a lighter yellow-green to separate the underside without an extra outline. Frill spikes along the neck and back ridge are the same grey-white as the horns, each one a small satin spike shape. The amber eye sits just behind the brow horn with a black outline and a tiny white highlight dot. Claws are white satin on green toes, each one individually visible so the feet actually look like dinosaur feet.
55,579 stitches on the largest 5.42 by 7.51 inch version. Use a solid medium cutaway stabiliser and slow it down through the frill section where the spike shapes sit close together. Add topping on fleece or any hairy fabric so the green fills dont turn muddy against a textured backing. Pick the four-inch for a kids chest pocket or bag tag, it still holds all 8 colours at 2.53 by 3.51 inches sharp enough to read clearly on a cap front.
Goes on kids gear almost every time, backpacks, lunch bags, hoodies, caps, patches for school bags, and nursery cushions. I get orders for this every summer and around christmas, mostly parents and grandparents making gifts for five-to-eight-year-olds who are deep into their dino phase. Dark navy, grey, cream, and white all work as backgrounds. The bright green pops hardest on white and pale grey. Dm the shop if any of the green layers look uneven or a horn shade misregisters and Ill swap a thread shade.

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.
