About this pattern

An upright brown paper gift tag hanging by its string from a red ribbon bow. The tag is pale golden brown with its two top corners cut on the slant, a round white paper ring round the punched hole and one plain red heart in the middle; the paper round the heart is left empty and no word is stitched. The bow above is two rounded red loops with a darker red knot between them and a darker shade under each loop; it has no tails. A thin dark string runs straight down from the knot, over the top of the tag and into the hole. Dark brown outline round the tag and the bow; the heart has none.

23 stitches wide by 44 high: 832 full cross stitches in 5 DMC colors (Pale Golden Brown 3827, Red 321, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938 and 2 more).
