About this pattern

A little green alien looks out through the pale blue glass dome of a gray flying saucer. It has two big slanted black eyes with a white glint in each and a small smile. The saucer is a wide disc in two grays with a row of seven gold lights along its middle and a gold lamp underneath; nothing shines down from it. The left half mirrors the right exactly. Dark brown outline. Full crosses only. It is 53 by 33 stitches and uses eight thread colors.

53 stitches wide by 33 high: 921 full cross stitches in 8 DMC colors (Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Light Steel Gray 318, Pearl Gray 415 and 5 more).
