About this pattern

A cute butterfly seen from above with its wings spread: two large rounded pale blue upper wings and two smaller lower wings, each with one round orange spot, edged in a darker blue. It has a big round peach head with two dark eyes set low, a tiny mouth, a pink blush mark beside each eye and two short antennae, and a small peach body between the wings. The left half mirrors the right exactly. Full crosses only. It is 47 by 32 stitches and uses six thread colors.

47 stitches wide by 32 high: 1,168 full cross stitches in 6 DMC colors (Light Baby Blue. 3325, Ultra Very Light Mahogany 3856, Very Light Mahogany 402 and 3 more).
