About this pattern

A framed mountain scene with the red C of the Colorado flag standing where the sun would be. In a pale blue sky the round red C, open to the right, wraps around a gold disc. One blue snow-capped peak rises at the right, light on its left face and shaded on its right, and three dark green pine trees stand on a green meadow in front of it. A dark brown line frames the rectangle, which is stitched edge to edge. Full crosses only. It is 59 by 44 stitches and uses nine thread colors.

59 stitches wide by 44 high: 2,596 full cross stitches in 9 DMC colors (Very Light Antique Blue 3752, Medium Antique Blue 931, Forest Green 989 and 6 more).
