Bring gentle cartoon charm to your stitching with this elegant lion couple design, showing a smiling mane-wearing lion and lioness in an embracing pose. The soft gold, tan and beige shades, with touches of red, pink, yellow and black, give it a warm, storybook feel without losing the clear whiskers, ears and expressive faces. It suits fans of animated film-inspired artwork who want something sweet and recognisable rather than loud or busy.
With 11 thread colours and a dense, heavily stitched finish, this design has the coverage to stand out well on stable fabrics. It would look especially good centred on a sweatshirt, the back of a denim jacket, a children's blanket or a cushion front where the hugging pose has room to read clearly. The fuller stitching and dark outline details help the couple hold their shape on medium-weight cottons, denim and similar fabrics that can support a substantial embroidered design.
