About this pattern

A round pink party balloon on a string, with IT'S A GIRL across it in dark capitals on two centered lines: IT'S A above and GIRL below. A small oval of paler pink shine sits at the upper left, and a short wavy string hangs from the knot at the bottom. Dark brown outline and letters. No name, date or weight is drawn. A small piece for a new baby card, a gift tag or a little hoop. Full crosses only. It is 35 by 50 stitches and uses three thread colors.

35 stitches wide by 50 high: 1,080 full cross stitches in 3 DMC colors (Medium Salmon 3712, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Light Salmon 761).
