This charming counted cross-stitch design transforms a bold magenta heart into a fantasy centerpiece, crowned with a golden orb and adorned with flowing blue and green ribbon loops. The composition balances a large, prominent heart base with delicate botanical elements and graceful curves, creating visual movement that draws the eye upward through the stacked embellishments.

Stitch planning checklist
- Measure your fabric against the stitch count to confirm finished size.
