About this pattern

The back of a little pale blue car driving away after the wedding. A white sign across the trunk reads JUST MARRIED in dark capital letters on two lines, a red heart fills the middle of the rear window, and three tin cans hang from the bumper on strings, each gray with a red label, the middle one lowest. The car has a rounded cabin, a red tail light at each side, a band of deeper blue above a gray bumper and two dark gray tires. Dark brown outline; everything but the lettering mirrors left to right. There is no name and no date. Full crosses only.

45 stitches wide by 55 high: 1,759 full cross stitches in 8 DMC colors (Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Baby Blue 3755, Winter White 3865 and 5 more).
