About this design
The lid is slightly wider than the box, which is how presents look in cartoons, and a gold ribbon runs down the middle of both. The bow has two loops with darker shading on their inner sides, and a single white pixel gives the red paper a little shine.
How to use it
Use it for birthday invitations, Christmas gift tags or a “thank you” card. It suits any celebration, so it is a useful design to keep as a fuse bead magnet. Change the paper and ribbon colours in the editor for each occasion.
Size and bead counts
The picture fills 158 of the 256 squares in its grid, within an area 14 squares wide and 14 tall; the rest stay empty. It uses 6 colours: black 78 (#221111), red 45 (#DD2244), light yellow 23 (#FFDD33), pink 7 (#991133), dark yellow 4 (#DDAA11), white 1 (#FFFFFF). Made with 5 mm fuse beads it measures about 7.0 × 7.0 cm and fits on one standard 29 × 29 pegboard. Stitched on 14-count Aida it is about 2.5 × 2.5 cm, or 3.2 × 3.2 cm on 11-count, so add a few centimetres of fabric on every side for the hoop.
Colour plan
#221111 does the most work, 49% of the 158 pixels, followed by #DD2244 at 28%. #991133 (7), #DDAA11 (4) and #FFFFFF (1) are used only a little: small details worth marking on the chart so you don't miss them. 38% 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 10 times.
