It is just the pattern. Do not attempt this if you are a beginning stitcher. It is quite large. It is done on white fabric. The background is completely stitched. Save yourself a huge headache and stitch pattern on black fabric and omit background stitching.

It should be beautiful.

Welcome to this chat. Watch out for some of the comments -- a few of us have a strange sense of humor. All is written in fun -- I think!!!

Thanks so much for the quick reply. I've been cross stitching for 30 years, lol. I'm looking to change the colors of the dragons a bit so that's why I was wondering about what was included. I'm looking to sorta change to a wedding announcement, my son and daughter n law are not the typical mushy type of wedding folks. I just thought this one might look cool.

This will definitely be unique.

Hope you enjoy stitching it.

Nancye G. is correct. We do have a certain sense of humor on this website but it is all in fun. Many of the experienced stitchers have known each other for a fair amount of time, so they feel at ease with one another. Don't be afraid to join in!
Oh, and I have a few dragon patterns in my stash! I plan on getting on that states "beware of teasing a dragon, because people are munchy and taste good too."
Have fun! It is a nice pattern!

Thanks Nancy, I learned how to cross stitch at 17 from my ex sister in law. I'm 47 now, so I've done quite a few things. My youngest son just proposed to his girlfriend a couple of weeks ago so it's a toss up between something like this or using their favorite engagement picture and turning that into a cross stitch pattern. Lol, knowing me I'll probably try to do both.
