Intro
Bring vibrant energy to your next project with this bold butterfly featuring symmetrical stained-glass-style wings in turquoise, pink, blue, yellow, and orange. Layered fill stitches, decorative spots, and strong black outlines create a colorful statement design with crisp structure and lively contrast.
Designer’s Note
A large butterfly spreads its patterned wings in perfect symmetry, with segmented color panels, dotted borders, curled antennae, and a slim blue body. The embroidery uses directional fill stitching, satin accents, dense black outlines, nine sequenced stops, and repeated accent colors to sharpen each wing section and decorative marking. Bright aqua, magenta, cobalt blue, lemon yellow, orange, and black form an energetic rainbow palette with a playful stained-glass mood.
