About this pattern

A haunted house in black silhouette on a hill against a violet night sky. The house has a tall tower with a pointed roof, a gabled roof with a chimney, and three lit yellow windows of four panes each, one in the tower and two side by side below. A yellow crescent moon hangs at the upper right, three black bats fly across the sky, one large and two small, and a bare black tree stands on the slope to the right of the house. The picture is stitched all over, from edge to edge, with no outline and no border. Full crosses only. It is 57 by 61 stitches and uses three thread colors.

57 stitches wide by 61 high: 3,477 full cross stitches in 3 DMC colors (Violet 553, Black 310, Pale Yellow 744).
