About this pattern

A wizard and a small green dragon look at each other across the wizard's staff. The wizard stands side on at the left in a tall blue pointed hat with a gold band and one gold star, with a long white beard and a blue robe with five gold stars and a gold hem; each star is a small plus sign of five stitches. His arm reaches out in a blue sleeve with a gold cuff, and his hand holds a tall gold staff topped with a round pale gold ball.

61 stitches wide by 51 high: 1,421 full cross stitches in 8 DMC colors (Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Dark Baby Blue 322, Forest Green 989 and 5 more).
