Soft cartoon charm comes through in this cuddling alien couple, stitched with closed smiling eyes, long ears, a curled tail and little red hearts floating around them. The pink, blue and turquoise palette, edged with black and lifted with cream, purple and red, gives it a playful Valentine feel without looking sugary. It suits anyone who likes their romance cute and slightly quirky, from handmade gifts for a partner to fun pieces for teens and fans of character embroidery.
Because it is a dense, heavily stitched nine-colour design, it has the presence to stand out well on sweatshirts, hoodies, pyjama tops and roomy tote bags. The filled areas give the hugging figures a bold, polished look, especially on stable fabrics such as cotton twill, denim or fleece. With 12 size options from 3 to 10 inches, it can work as a small chest motif or a larger centrepiece on the back of a jacket or the front of a cushion cover.
