Bring autumn charm to your Halloween stitching with this cartoon squirrel tucked into a carved jack-o'-lantern, surrounded by branches, leaves, berries, an acorn and a twiggy wreath. The warm orange, brown, tan, cream and olive palette gives it a softer seasonal feel than a spooky motif, making it a lovely choice for children’s clothes, autumn totes or anyone who prefers Halloween with a woodland twist. Falling speckles and the circular frame help the whole design feel neatly finished, so it reads clearly even with all the little details.
With 12 thread colours and a dense, heavily stitched build, this design suits fabrics that can support solid embroidery well, such as sweatshirts, denim jackets, canvas bags and sturdy cotton. It works especially nicely as a standout chest, back or bag-front motif where the pumpkin shape and wreath can be seen in full. If you like seasonal embroidery that feels cute rather than sugary, this one has enough texture and detail to give a simple garment a more considered, decorative look.
