The whole thing is outlines only, no satin fills, no colour at all except black thread on whatever base fabric you choose. Daisy heads at different heights, round globe flowers, lavender-type spikes, leaves going in all directions, small berry clusters on thin stems. Three butterflies in flight scattered across the right side and one more tucked into the upper left. It looks like a page from a botanical sketchbook, and honestly thats the vibe I was going for.
Stitch count is very low because its all running stitch and light satin outlines. 7,314 stitches at the smallest 3.27 by 3.5 inch size, up to 13,668 at the full 7 by 7.5 inch. Density at 260 is about as light as my designs go so if you've ever had a design that felt too heavy and stiff after stitching this is the opposite of that. No topping needed on most fabrics.
I originally put this together for white cotton tea towels and that's still my recommendation. If you stitch it on natural linen the outline threads give it a hand-drawn feel like someone embroidered over a botanical print. One customer told me last month she stitched it on a pale sage canvas tote and people kept asking if it was screen-printed.
Use the lightest weight tearaway on stable woven cotton or linen, or even water-soluble topping on towelling. Skip dark fabric unless youre planning to use white thread instead of black, that works really well on navy or charcoal too. Send a note if the file format gives trouble in your embroidery software and Ill send an alternative.

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.
