About this pattern

A dragonfly and a butterfly side by side, both seen from straight above. The dragonfly, on the left, has four narrow pale turquoise wings with a small dark mark near each tip, a turquoise blue body with darker bands along its long tail, and two dark eyes. The butterfly, on the right, has broad orange wings with a rust edge and a paler peach patch on each, a dark body and two antennae. Each has a dark brown outline and each mirrors left to right, so either can be stitched alone. Full crosses only, with no backstitch. It is 64 by 32 stitches and uses seven thread colors.

64 stitches wide by 32 high: 892 full cross stitches in 7 DMC colors (Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Dark Autumn Gold 3853, Very Light Turquoise 3811 and 4 more).
