Instant download after payment
A single ladybug rests on a fresh green leaf, red shell dotted black, antennae turned toward the light. This cross stitch pattern (PDF) holds one of those small, alive moments in nature — the kind that makes you lean in and look closer.
The round composition fills a hoop edge to edge, so the finished piece reads like a little window onto a summer afternoon. Soft, painterly shading in the leaves lets the red glow without crowding the design — a botanical cross stitch chart built for slow, close work.
