It has a square gray head with one square pale yellow eye, a mouth slot and a red ball on its aerial; a red box body with a round dial on its side; one gray arm held straight out, ending in an open pincer claw; and two gray legs with flat dark gray feet. A gold butterfly key stands out of its back. Dark brown outline. Full crosses only. It is 38 by 53 stitches and uses six thread colors.

38 stitches wide by 53 high: 937 full cross stitches in 6 DMC colors (Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Red 321, Light Steel Gray 318 and 3 more).
