About this pattern

The words HAPPY NEW YEAR in white block capitals on two lines, on a dark navy panel with a thin gold border. Above the words three fireworks burst: a large gold one in the middle, a smaller red one on the left and a smaller pale blue one on the right, each a ring of small separate sparks around a white center with pale yellow sparks nearest it. No year is drawn. The navy background is stitched solid. Full crosses only. It is 63 by 49 stitches and uses six thread colors.

63 stitches wide by 49 high: 3,087 full cross stitches in 6 DMC colors (Very Dark Navy Blue 939, Medium Topaz 783, Winter White 3865 and 3 more).
