Intro
Make a confident statement with this stylish quote design featuring the phrase “My Energy Is Expensive” surrounded by bold retro sparkles. The flowing script, single-color construction, and clean satin-and-fill stitchwork create a polished look that feels modern, empowering, and easy to coordinate.
Designer’s Note
The artwork centers the phrase “My Energy Is Expensive” in sweeping script lettering, framed by large and small four-point sparkle shapes arranged for balanced visual movement. Smooth satin stitching defines the lettering while compact fill stitches shape the stars, using a one-color sequence with controlled trims and crisp edges for an efficient finish. The warm burnt-orange palette gives the design a bold, confident, and slightly retro personality.
