About this pattern

A white lighthouse with one broad red band stands on a sandy shore at the right, with a red cone roof, a lit yellow lantern, two slit windows and a dark door. To the left the sun is half up on a blue sea, with three short strokes of its light on the water below it. The sky is in four flat bands, pale gold at the horizon, then orange, salmon pink and violet, and two dark gulls fly in it. A one-stitch dark brown frame runs all round and the scene is stitched edge to edge inside it. It can be read as a sunrise or a sunset. Full crosses only. It is 43 by 61 stitches and uses ten thread colors.

43 stitches wide by 61 high: 2,623 full cross stitches in 10 DMC colors (Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Violet 553, Medium Salmon 3712 and 7 more).
