A yellow school bus set in the middle of a big red heart. The bus is seen from the side, facing left: a rounded roof, a level row of four square pale blue windows, a dark stripe along the side below them, an engine hood out in front with a small pale headlamp, and two dark gray wheels with pale cross-shaped hubs. The heart is plain red with a dark brown outline, a notch at the top and one point at the bottom, and it mirrors left to right exactly; the bus, a side view, does not. No number, name or lettering is drawn. A piece for a 5 inch hoop, to give to a school bus driver.
61 stitches wide by 59 high: 2,454 full cross stitches in 5 DMC colors (Red 321, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Medium Light Topaz 725 and 2 more).

The fabric color changes the preview only: every cross matches your chart.
Count is the number of squares to the inch: 14-count fabric has 14, and a higher count makes the same design smaller.DMC is the thread maker whose color numbers most charts use.
