About this pattern

The words HAPPY EASTER in two lines of violet block capitals over three decorated eggs standing in a strip of green grass: a pink egg with three white stripes, a yellow egg with eight violet dots and a blue egg with two white zigzag bands. The eggs have a dark brown outline; the letters and the grass have none. No date and no name. Full crosses only. It is 60 by 49 stitches and uses seven thread colors.

60 stitches wide by 49 high: 1,371 full cross stitches in 7 DMC colors (Violet 553, Pale Yellow 744, Forest Green 989 and 4 more).
