About this pattern

A cherry tree in full bloom. The crown is a wide pale pink cloud in three lobes, shaded in deeper pink along its underside and dotted with twelve small white blossoms, each with a dark pink center. A dark brown trunk rises from a low green mound and forks into two boughs inside the crown. Single pink petals are falling: six in the air beside the trunk and six lying on the grass. A dark brown outline runs round the crown and the mound. Full crosses only. It is 47 by 51 stitches and uses six thread colors.

47 stitches wide by 51 high: 1,349 full cross stitches in 6 DMC colors (Light Salmon 761, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Forest Green 989 and 3 more).
