About this pattern

A bookmark: a tall strip of dark navy night sky stitched edge to edge. At the top a large firework opens in red rays around a pale yellow center, ringed with gold sparks. Below it on the right a firework rocket climbs: a gold pointed cap, a red tube with two pale yellow bands, a thin gold stick down its right side, a pale yellow and gold flame under it and a dashed line of gold sparks trailing to the foot of the strip. A small gold burst with red tips opens on the left, and a blue-green and pale yellow one lower down. No flag, words or year is drawn.

27 stitches wide by 64 high: 1,728 full cross stitches in 5 DMC colors (Very Dark Navy Blue 939, Medium Topaz 783, Red 321 and 2 more).
