Bring dark romance to your stitching with this gothic floral design of a glass bottle holding a human skull, black roses, buds, stems and leaves. The black, green and beige palette gives it a moody, antique feel that suits Halloween projects without tipping into cartoon territory. It is a strong choice for anyone who likes their florals with a darker edge, whether you are customising clothing or making seasonal home décor.
Because the design is open and lightly stitched, it sits well on fabrics that can be overwhelmed by heavier fills, including cotton shirts, sweatshirt backs, canvas totes and apron fronts. The three-thread-colour layout keeps the look clean and readable, with the bottle, skull and rose shapes doing the visual work. With 12 size options, it can work as a smaller accent on a pocket area or as a larger statement on the back of a jacket or cushion cover.
