About this pattern

A black haunted house stands on the crown of a giant orange jack o lantern. The house is one dark shape: a tall tower with a steep pointed roof in the middle, a lower turret on the right and a lean-to with a tall capped chimney on the left, with three lit yellow windows and a lit door. The pumpkin has three lobes, two triangle eyes, a triangle nose and a wide grin with square teeth, with darker orange shade at its lower right. One black bat flies at the upper right. Black outline. Full crosses only. It is 43 by 61 stitches and uses four thread colors.

43 stitches wide by 61 high: 1,593 full cross stitches in 4 DMC colors (Black 310, Dark Autumn Gold 3853, Copper 921 and 1 more).
