About this pattern

One red poinsettia head seen from straight above. Five large pointed red bracts spread like a star, each with a darker red vein down its middle; five smaller, lighter red young bracts lie on top of them, each edged with a darker red line; and five green leaves show between the red points. In the middle is a small pale yellow center with five green dots. The left half mirrors the right exactly. Dark brown outline. Full crosses only. It is 43 by 45 stitches and uses six thread colors.

43 stitches wide by 45 high: 1,111 full cross stitches in 6 DMC colors (Red 321, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Medium Garnet 815 and 3 more).
