A monarch’s wings are nature doing hard-edged color blocking: burnt-orange panes framed by black veins and dotted white margins. That structure is why this design converts so cleanly to drills — every wing cell is a flat region with a crisp border, no gradients to muddy. The monarch perches on a lavender sprig, and the stalk’s purples run cooler than the wings’ oranges, so the two subjects separate on the canvas exactly the way complementary colors should. The black vein-work is the satisfying part to place: long single-color runs that snap the whole insect into focus as they complete. Background greens stay soft and simple, keeping the total color count modest and the fill relaxing rather than fussy. It finishes as a bright, botanical piece that reads instantly from a hallway. Monarch orange is famously loud in drill form — expect the finished canvas to catch afternoon light the way the real insect catches a meadow.
The chart, measured
Every number on this page is read from this design’s actual manufacturing chart — the same
file the 106×106 symbol canvas is printed from — not estimated for marketing.

With 10 DMC colors over 11,236 drills, this chart sits at the relaxed end of the catalog: long uninterrupted color runs and few tray swaps. The workload skews teal: 1 of the 10 colors are teal steps, covering 81% of the canvas, with DMC 3766 alone accounting for 81% (9,092 drills). 4 accent colors each cover under 1% of the canvas — small bags that carry the highlights, so keep them sorted.

Chart-true by construction
The mockup above is rendered drill-by-drill from the finished chart (11,236 cells,
10 colors — the exact numbers in the tables), using the deterministic pipeline
that processes every Pixelmade order: saliency-weighted DMC selection, nearest-color
mapping, no dithering. What you approve is what gets printed. Each kit is made to order —
printed, picked, and packed when you buy, MOQ 1.
