About this pattern

An instant camera that has just printed a photo of a red heart. The camera is a boxy light blue body seen from the front: a round lens with dark blue glass inside gray rings, a white flash window at the top left, a small dark blue viewfinder at the top right, a red shutter button and a darker blue strip across the bottom. The print hangs below it, a white-bordered photo with a red heart on a gray ground, the border deepest at the foot. There is no name or lettering. Dark brown outline. Full crosses only. It is 29 by 42 stitches and uses seven thread colors.

29 stitches wide by 42 high: 1,020 full cross stitches in 7 DMC colors (Light Turquoise 598, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Light Steel Gray 318 and 4 more).
