About this pattern

One red tulip standing in a navy blue flowerpot, in flat color with no outline and no shading. The bloom is a cup with three points, with one pointed pink petal in the middle between two red side petals. A straight green stem rises between two long leaves that lean outward. The pot has a gold band under its rim and a red heart on its front. The left side mirrors the right exactly. Full crosses only. It is 23 by 47 stitches and uses five thread colors.

23 stitches wide by 47 high: 623 full cross stitches in 5 DMC colors (Bright Red 666, Navy Blue 336, Bright Green 700 and 2 more).
