About this pattern

A thank-you card with a pun: THANK YOU in thin green capitals above one big ripe strawberry, and BERRY MUCH in thin red capitals below it. The strawberry hangs point down, red with twenty-eight pale yellow seeds in staggered rows, a darker red shade down its right side and a green cap of three pointed leaves with a short stalk. The fruit has a dark brown outline and the letters have none. Full crosses only. It is 57 by 55 stitches and uses five thread colors.

57 stitches wide by 55 high: 1,151 full cross stitches in 5 DMC colors (Red 321, Hunter Green 3346, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938 and 2 more).
