The mirror is the trick. Ribbons of aurora — green through teal to violet — sweep the night sky in broad stepped bands, cross a treeline of snow-laden spruces, and then appear again upside down in the lake, slightly darkened the way still water actually holds light. That doubling is what makes the design: twice the aurora for one sky, and a built-in symmetry that keeps the canvas readable from any distance. Deep indigo (DMC 803) carries nearly 8,000 drills of night and water — big meditative fields — while the ribbon edges and the star scatter do the sparkling. 21 DMC colors, cool throughout.
The chart, measured
Every number on this page is read from this design’s actual manufacturing chart — the same
file the 141×141 symbol canvas is printed from — not estimated for marketing.

21 DMC colors over 19,881 drills makes this one of the richer trays in the catalog — expect more color changes and a more painterly finish. The workload skews blue: 8 of the 21 colors are blue steps, covering 66% of the canvas, with DMC 803 alone accounting for 40% (7,927 drills). 8 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 (19,881 cells, 21 colors — the exact numbers in the tables). The design itself was drawn natively on the drill grid by our production design engine, in a real, ledgered Design Jobs run — the exact job and attempt are named in this kit’s provenance record. The engine painted a 200×200 working grid, its pixel lattice was recovered cell-for-cell, and this 141×141 window was copied out whole-cell — no resampling, no padding — with every color mapped to a real DMC code. What you approve is what gets printed. Each kit is made to order —
printed, picked, and packed when you buy, MOQ 1.
