About this pattern

Three small houses in the snow under three fireworks in a dark navy night sky. A big gold firework opens at the top, a pale blue one lower on the left and a red one lower on the right. Below them stand a red cottage with a pointed roof, a taller blue house and a low red house with a chimney, each with a snow-covered roof, pale yellow lit windows and a dark door, on one band of white snow. No words or year are drawn. The whole panel is stitched solid. Full crosses only. It is 41 by 55 stitches and uses eight thread colors.

41 stitches wide by 55 high: 2,255 full cross stitches in 8 DMC colors (Very Dark Navy Blue 939, Winter White 3865, Red 321 and 5 more).
