Bring sunny silliness to summer stitching with this cute cartoon dragon, sprawled on an inflatable swim ring with a towel over its body and a drink balanced nearby. The little details give it real personality: small wings, a curling tail, spines along the back, a striped straw and a citrus slice perched on the glass, with tufts of grass grounding the scene. It suits children’s clothes, holiday accessories and anyone who likes their fantasy creatures more sweet than fierce.
With 11 thread colours and a moderately dense build, it has enough detail to look polished without losing its playful feel. It would sit especially well on a beach towel, a child’s hoodie, a summer pyjama top, a tote bag or the back of a lightweight denim jacket. The mix of yellow, grey, purple, pink, white, blue, peach and red stands out nicely on pale fabrics, but it would also pop against navy or black for a brighter, more graphic finish.
