About this pattern

A round city scene at sunset, stitched edge to edge. A big pale yellow sun stands behind a dark navy skyline: a tall tower with a mast on each side of the sun, lit yellow windows in three of the buildings, and a low domed hall with a spike in front of the sun. The sky is in three flat bands, violet at the top, then salmon pink, then orange at the horizon. Below the city the water is violet, with the path of the sun in four pale yellow bars and six short salmon ripples. No outline and no landmark. Full crosses only. It is 60 stitches across and uses five thread colors.

60 stitches wide by 60 high: 2,828 full cross stitches in 5 DMC colors (Violet 553, Very Dark Navy Blue 939, Pale Yellow 744 and 2 more).
