Kit biglietto d'auguri a punto croce «Fuochi d'artificio di regali»

“Gifts firework” is a wobbly stack of boxes with stars and streamers flying out of it. It has the mood of a New Year morning, before anything is unwrapped.

What the picture shows

The boxes are piled into a tower that leans noticeably to one side. The two largest sit at the bottom: a yellow one with green polka dots and a lilac-pink one with yellow specks. Above them come a red box with a pink ribbon, a green one with a red bow, and a small pale lilac box with a pink ribbon at the very top. Each parcel is stitched solidly, with lighter ribbon bands laid over the base colour. From the top box, thin black streamer lines with yellow confetti dots shoot upwards, and two yellow five-pointed stars sit to the left and right of the stack. All the remaining white Aida is left bare, and against it the five floss colours read brightly.
