Intro
Bring a joyful garden accent to your next project with this colorful bumblebee surrounded by a balanced wreath of flowers and leaves. Satin-style borders, directional fill stitching, and layered floral elements give the design a bright decorative finish with playful folk-art charm.
Designer’s Note
This vibrant artwork features a striped bumblebee with yellow outlined wings, a dimensional blue rose on its thorax, and a surrounding wreath of green foliage, tulips, daisies, and small blossoms. The embroidery build combines smooth fill stitches, crisp satin outlines, eleven color stops, layered flower centers, and carefully sequenced body and botanical sections for clean separation. Bright yellow, black, green, purple, orange, blue, pink, and magenta create a lively garden palette with a cheerful, whimsical mood.
