About this pattern

A red panda sitting behind a big orange pumpkin and looking straight out, with both dark paws laid over the top of it. Its face is rust above and white below, with white ears, a white spot over each eye, white cheeks and muzzle, a dark nose and a rust stripe running down from each eye. The pumpkin has a short green stalk and four darker ribs, and the end of the ringed tail, rust and pale gold, lies on the ground to the right of it. Dark brown outline. Full crosses only. It is 42 by 42 stitches and uses six thread colors.

42 stitches wide by 42 high: 1,102 full cross stitches in 6 DMC colors (Dark Autumn Gold 3853, Red Copper 919, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938 and 3 more).
