About this pattern

A round picture stitched edge to edge: a pair of ripe red cherries hanging from a brown bough against a pale blue sky. The bough comes in from the upper left, where the round frame cuts it, bends down across the picture, thins as it goes and ends in a green leaf; two more leaves stand on it, a small one and a larger one, and each leaf is lit on one half in a lighter green. From under the bough hang two thin green stalks: the left one swings out and the right one hangs nearly straight and lower, so the right cherry hangs in front of the left one.

55 stitches wide by 55 high: 2,377 full cross stitches in 8 DMC colors (Very Light Antique Blue 3752, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Red 321 and 5 more).
