About this pattern

A small green dragon standing side on, facing left, and breathing a ball of fire. It has two swept-back gold horns, one gold ribbed wing, a dark eye with a white glint, a pale jaw and belly, two short legs and a tail that sags to the ground and turns up into a gold arrowhead. The flame is orange with a pale yellow middle and a copper edge and has no outline; the dragon is outlined in dark brown. Full crosses only. It is 61 by 31 stitches and uses nine thread colors.

61 stitches wide by 31 high: 810 full cross stitches in 9 DMC colors (Forest Green 989, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Medium Old Gold 729 and 6 more).
