About this pattern

A pair of full red lips, shaded in three reds with a dark mouth line, and above them three hearts in a rising row: a small pink one at the left, a larger coral one in the middle and a still larger red one at the right, like a kiss being blown. Each heart is one flat color. Dark brown outline round the lips and round each heart. No lettering and no face. Full crosses only. It is 41 by 41 stitches and uses five thread colors.

41 stitches wide by 41 high: 928 full cross stitches in 5 DMC colors (Red 321, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Medium Coral 350 and 2 more).
