I want to incorporate buttons with my embroidery.
I'm thinking about embroidering a small leaf and stem, then sewing on a red button for an apple or any other fruit. I've even thought about a triangle of color with a string attached then sew on a button and have a balloon. Or stems for flowers.Has anyone ever seen anything like this? Smart Needle does something like this but much more complex than I'm thinking about. Any Cutie out there willing to digitize these things?

It sounds like a darling project and I'm hoping someone can digitize stems and leaves for you. There are so many talented people here, who would do a great job for you!
Best of luck; we'd love to see the project when you have completed it!
Hugs,

Thank you, this is exactly what I'm thinking. It is so beautiful! As for the fruit, most leaves can go with any color. (Apples, oranges, plums, etc.) But I would also like a grape leaf with a curly vine. Then I'd sew on a bunch of tiny 1/4 inch buttons as the grapes. For the flowers, I wouldn't use anything bigger than 1 inch.

Thank you for the advice. I was thinking maybe around the bottom of a skirt, or on kitchen towels.

It looks like my other comment to you was not complete. I'm thinking the buttons should be 1" or less. As for myself, I can resize the designs as needed, but I know that others don't have that ability.
