About this pattern

A round picture stitched edge to edge: one large pink hibiscus, wide open, on a green stem in the sand of a beach. The flower has five round pale pink petals that overlap in turn, a ring of deeper pink round a dark red throat, and one long gold stamen that slants out to the upper right. A straight stem with two pointed green leaves runs down to the rim. Behind are a pale blue sky with one small white cloud, a band of turquoise sea, a line of white foam and pale yellow sand. A dark brown rim closes the circle. Full crosses only. It is 51 by 51 stitches and uses eleven thread colors.

51 stitches wide by 51 high: 2,053 full cross stitches in 11 DMC colors (Very Light Antique Blue 3752, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Light Salmon 761 and 8 more).
