About this pattern

Three red tulips standing at three heights in a round teal vase. Each flower is a red cup with a lighter coral front petal between two darker folds and three points at its top, on its own green stem; the middle one is tallest, the left one a little lower and the right one lowest. A pointed green leaf hangs out over the lip on each side. The vase has a flared lip, a narrow neck, a round belly with a pale highlight at the upper left and a darker shade down the right, and a small foot. Dark brown outline. Full crosses only. It is 33 by 57 stitches and uses nine thread colors.

33 stitches wide by 57 high: 1,173 full cross stitches in 9 DMC colors (Dark Turquoise 3810, Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Red 321 and 6 more).
