Cross stitch ornament

Carolyn really got me going with the cross stitch module. Inspired by the red and gold heart designs I came up with this - used the traditional methods of decoration and it looks (and feels) like the real McCoy. It stitched out beautifully even with the unforgiving material I used - a piece of reflective curtain cloth.
Size is 86 x 126 mm (3.39"x4.96").

Cross stitch is really the easy part, it's like colouring in the square of mm-paper, but faster. Left click another cross stitch, right click and it's removed. I did not use a picture, just started with a heart, added the yellow, duplicated andmirrorred, then added a heart left and right , couple of extra yellow and that's it.

I hardly ever used that part of the software, I'd rather do those designs by hand, but it gives nice results. I played around with one design but might have a go at more.

You make digitizing sound so easy to Xstitch, but this pattern you have done is marvilous.

I love it! Sure looks like the real deal. I love the elegant simplicity of the design you digitized. I use to love to hand cross stitch until my eyes didn't like those tiny stitches. I've never tried a ME cross stitch design. I think because most look so dense and use a zillion colors. LOL

Thanks for sharing with us! Excellent work and you're so blessed with talent!
Hugs and **
