Spent a good while on this one because the middle leopard section needed to sit right between the two plain pink arcs without the spots bleeding into the satin edges. Three arcs total. The wide outer band is medium dusty rose pink, smooth and solid. The middle arc is the feature, dense leopard print in a pink base with scattered black spot clusters giving that classic animal-print texture. Its the band that does all the heavy lifting visually. The inner arc is a paler blush pink, narrower, pulling the eye toward the centre. At the very base of the arch sits a small solid pink heart.
Then theres the "love" script. The word repeats around both sides of the rainbow in black brushscript, five or six repetitions per side, each letter tilting with the curve so it reads as part of the shape rather than text slapped on top. Three colours in total, dusty rose, pale blush and black. At 1,096 stitches per square inch density this is one of the denser stitch-outs in the range. The biggest size, 6.16 by 7.51 inches, lands at 50,703 stitches. Plan for a long run on the big size. Use a firm medium-weight cutaway, not tearaway. The leopard fill needs a stable base or the spot registration drifts.
Stitch range bottoms out at 17,163 on the 2.88 by 3.51 inch smallest size. Thats good for a shirt pocket or a hat panel. The large version is where it shows off properly, a pillow front or tote bag panel. Because the palette is all pink tones with black, it works on white, cream, natural linen or black fabric. Skip blush pink backing, it swallows the arcs. Go for contrast.
Ive had people ordering this every January to prep Valentine gift runs, tote bags, cushion covers, sweatshirts, all in the same boho-romantic palette. The animal-print centre band is what separates it from every other rainbow on the market. Reach out if the spot layer builds up too thick at the arc edges and ill look at the underlay settings with 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.
