About this pattern

A pink lotus seen from the side, floating on a band of turquoise water, with the word namaste underneath in lower-case letters. The flower has five pointed petals: an upright middle petal, a pair leaning out beside it and a lower pair reaching out over the water. The middle petal and the pair beside it are pale pink with deeper pink tips; the outer pair is deeper pink with dusky rose tips. Three short ripples of lighter turquoise lie on the water. The word is stitched in the turquoise of the water, in plain square letters one stitch thick, exactly as wide as the water above it.

49 stitches wide by 31 high: 756 full cross stitches in 6 DMC colors (Dark Turquoise 3810, Light Salmon 761, Medium Salmon 3712 and 3 more).
