About this pattern

A pastel rainbow rising out of one wide puffy cloud with a small face. The rainbow has four bands, rose pink, straw yellow, green and blue from the outside in, with bare fabric under the arch. The cloud is very pale gray, edged in a deeper gray, with a puff at each end and a small one in the middle. The face sits low on the cloud: two dark dot eyes, a one-stitch mouth and a pink blush mark beside each eye. No dark outline. The left side mirrors the right exactly. Full crosses only. It is 47 by 30 stitches and uses eight thread colors.

47 stitches wide by 30 high: 960 full cross stitches in 8 DMC colors (Very Light Pearl Gray 762, Light Steel Gray 318, Medium Rose 899 and 5 more).
