Add a touch of spooky mischief to your Halloween stitching with this skeleton duck design, drawn as a cartoon duck silhouette with a skull head, beak, big eye socket and eye, and clearly defined neck, rib, wing and tail bones. The yellow, red, white, black and grey palette gives it a lively, slightly oddball look that suits makers who like their Halloween motifs playful rather than grim. It is a strong choice for anyone decorating autumn clothing, trick-or-treat bags or novelty gifts with something a bit less expected than the usual pumpkin or ghost.
Because the design is dense and heavily stitched, it has a solid, filled appearance that shows up well on sturdier fabrics such as sweatshirts, denim jackets, canvas totes and apron-weight cotton. The four-thread-colour build keeps the look bold and readable, so the bones and duck outline do not get lost against dark backgrounds. With sizes ranging from small to statement-making, it works equally well as a chest motif on a hoodie or a larger feature on the back of a jacket or the front of a tote.
