About this pattern

A green frog sitting upright on a dark green lily pad and facing you, with a small gold three-point crown between two big white eyes that stand up from the top of its head. It has pink cheeks, a wide smile, a pale green belly and all four feet showing, and the lily pad has one notch cut in its front edge. Outlined in dark brown, and the left side mirrors the right. It uses seven thread colors.

51 stitches wide by 41 high: 1,400 full cross stitches in 7 DMC colors (Forest Green 989, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Hunter Green 3346 and 4 more).
