About this pattern

A round Halloween scene, stitched all over: a black haunted house on a hill against a large pale yellow full moon. The house has a steep gable, a thin chimney, a square tower with a pointed roof at the right, five four-pane windows lit orange and an orange door. Two black bats fly above the roofs and a bare tree stands at the left. A black rim runs round the moon, and the hill fills the bottom of the circle. Full crosses only. It is 63 by 63 stitches and uses three thread colors.

63 stitches wide by 63 high: 3,125 full cross stitches in 3 DMC colors (Light Straw 3822, Black 310, Dark Autumn Gold 3853).
