Designer’s Note
This artwork features two large sunflowers with textured golden petals and layered brown centers, supported by curved green stems and broad leaves. A brown butterfly hovers above the blooms while soft cream ornamental swirls surround the arrangement. The embroidery build combines directional fill stitches, satin accents, layered flower centers, smooth leaf shading, and six carefully sequenced color stops for a polished result.
