About this pattern

A glossy red apple with bright green poison pooled round its stalk and running down in three drips, beside a small round flask of the same green. The apple has a dark stalk, a white shine at the left and a darker red shade down its right side. The flask is marked with a white skull, has pale glass above the green and is sealed with red wax. A dark brown outline closes the apple and the flask. Full crosses only. It is 51 by 32 stitches and uses seven thread colors.

51 stitches wide by 32 high: 997 full cross stitches in 7 DMC colors (Red 321, Light Parrot Green 907, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938 and 4 more).
