About this pattern

A round glass snow globe on a red stand. Inside, against a blue sky with fourteen falling white flakes, stands a white Taj Mahal seen square on: an onion dome with a finial, a small domed kiosk on each side of it, a tall arched doorway, four arched niches and four slim minarets, on a level floor of white snow. The stand is red in two steps with a darker red band along its foot. No lettering. Dark brown outline. Full crosses only. It is 53 by 55 stitches and uses seven thread colors.

53 stitches wide by 55 high: 2,437 full cross stitches in 7 DMC colors (Winter White 3865, Dark Baby Blue 322, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938 and 4 more).
