About this design
The frosting is a pink dome with white highlights and a few yellow sprinkles, with scalloped darker pink edges where it meets the case. The case has vertical stripes in two blues and tapers slightly at the bottom, and a red cherry with a stem sits on top.
How to use it
It is a natural birthday design: invitations, a cake topper, party bag tags or a birthday cross stitch card. Change the frosting colour to match a party theme in the editor, and add a candle for an age.
Size and bead counts
The picture fills 138 of the 256 squares in its grid, within an area 14 squares wide and 15 tall; the rest stay empty. It uses 8 colours: dark brown 49 (#332222), light pink 36 (#FFAACC), light teal 18 (#88CCEE), teal 18 (#5599BB), pink 7 (#DD7799), red 4 (#EE2233), white 3 (#FFFFFF), yellow 3 (#FFEE55). Made with 5 mm fuse beads it measures about 7.0 × 7.5 cm and fits on one standard 29 × 29 pegboard. Stitched on 14-count Aida it is about 2.5 × 2.7 cm, or 3.2 × 3.5 cm on 11-count, so add a few centimetres of fabric on every side for the hoop.
Colour plan
#332222 does the most work, 36% of the 138 pixels, followed by #FFAACC at 26%. #DD7799 (7), #EE2233 (4), #FFFFFF (3) and #FFEE55 (3) 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.
