About this pattern

A dragonfly seen from above in the round opening of a teal eight-point star. The star is a square laid over a square turned on its point, stitched solid in teal with a darker teal edge, and a small gold sparkle sits in each of the eight spaces between its points. The dragonfly has four narrow pale turquoise wings with a dark mark near each tip, a turquoise blue body with darker bands along its long tail, two dark eyes and a dark brown outline. The whole design mirrors left to right. Full crosses only, with no backstitch. It is 64 by 64 stitches and uses five thread colors.

64 stitches wide by 64 high: 1,468 full cross stitches in 5 DMC colors (Dark Turquoise 3810, Ultra Very Dark Turquoise 3808, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938 and 2 more).
