A rainbow arc built from three bands, cream-white on the inside, hot pink in the middle, bright red on the outer ring. Along the outside edge of the red band, small solid hearts are hooped in a row like a crown sitting on top of the arch. Theres a small heart right in the centre at the bottom base of the rainbow too. The whole thing is compact and wide, wider than tall, like a cheerful semicircle. Its the kind of valentines design that works on things you wouldnt normally put a heart on.
Three colours, 3 changes between em. 8 sizes from 1.64 inches wide up to 4.27 inches wide. Stitch count 3,182 on the smallest and 9,275 on the biggest. Density 334, my usual software digitising. The satin arches on the rainbow bands need the underlay to be set right on each band edge so they dont roll at the curves, and the digitising handles that well on medium woven cotton and light knit fabrics aswell.
People use this one alot for valentines day gifts that arent super serious about it. I mean it reads as fun rather than romantic, which means it ends up on kids stuff more than adult gifts. Last february a customer ordered the 3-inch version for a class of valentines day treats bags, 24 small pouches with a rainbow heart on each one. Ran em all in red and pink on white cotton and they looked great as lil party favours.
Best on white, cream, pale pink, or light grey fabric. Use light tear-away on woven quilting cotton and a thin cutaway on jersey onesies or kids sweatshirts. Skip dark or saturated fabric because the cream inner arch disappears against anything that isnt light. Run the smallest 1.6-inch size on onesie chest panels or towel corners, use the 4-inch on tote bag fronts and cushion covers for a bigger colour presence.

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.
