Yellow and wide - it doesnt try to be subtle. The body is chunky, viewed front-angled so you see the hood and one side at the same time, and those yellow and orange panels layered across the middle section make it feel bright and sunny right away. The mouth is the widest of any cartoon car I've done - big open red grin with white teeth visible, two small black antenna dots on the roofline, blue windshield section sitting behind them.
Nine colours total: yellow, orange, blue, red, black, white, and a few grey tones for the wheels and shadow sections. Thats why the yellow car has the highest stitch count in the series - 17,839 at starting at 3 in up to 51,807 at the largest. The density is 1,194 and the design runs 2.66 to 6.19 inches wide across 5 sizes. With that many colours and that density, pop it on a polymesh cutaway and hoop properly. Dont try to float this one on lightweight tearaway - the fill will shift.
A customer ordered it last summer for a daycare center - they wanted something bright and neutral for their activity room display boards, and they picked yellow because it reads cheerful without being specifically gendered. That was a smart call honestly. Stitch it on felt and it goes up on a display board really well without needing a frame or hoop.
Stitch the wheel sections in sequence from back to front so the spoke detail layers correctly. Trim jump threads between the mouth interior passes before they travel across the red fill. Back with polymesh and hoop with the grain on woven fabrics. Message me with any file questions.

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.
