About this design
The cactus has a central column with a light green stripe for its ribs, and two arms that bend upwards on either side. A pink flower sits on top, and the terracotta pot has a darker rim and two small marks for texture.
How to use it
Use it for a plant-lover’s card, a desk decoration or a “stay sharp” good-luck note. It is an easy cross stitch on 14-count Aida and a quick bead magnet. Make several with different flowers in the editor for a windowsill row.
Size and bead counts
The picture fills 137 of the 256 squares in its grid, within an area 14 squares wide and 16 tall; the rest stay empty. It uses 7 colours: black 60 (#112211), green 31 (#55AA55), light orange 18 (#DD7744), dark green 16 (#337733), light green 8 (#88DD77), light pink 2 (#FF77AA), dark orange 2 (#AA5522). Made with 5 mm fuse beads it measures about 7.0 × 8.0 cm and fits on one standard 29 × 29 pegboard. Stitched on 14-count Aida it is about 2.5 × 2.9 cm, or 3.2 × 3.7 cm on 11-count, so add a few centimetres of fabric on every side for the hoop.
Colour plan
#112211 does the most work, 44% of the 137 pixels, followed by #55AA55 at 23%. #88DD77 (8), #FF77AA (2) and #AA5522 (2) are used only a little: small details worth marking on the chart so you don't miss them. 46% of the grid is left empty.
Working notes
It is 16 × 16 pixels; at 8× scale it becomes 128 × 128. The busiest row changes colour 13 times.
