A stone cottage sits shoulder-deep in snow while dusk turns the sky violet-blue, and every window burns amber. This is the coziest kind of contrast to place in drills: nine-tenths of the canvas is cool — blues, lavenders, snow whites — so the handful of warm window and doorway drills land like struck matches. Snow scenes flatter the grid format because snow genuinely is flat color; the design just steps it in three cool tones to model drifts and rooflines, no gradients required. Dark pines flank the cottage as simple triangular silhouettes, giving the middle distance depth without fuss. Smoke curls from the chimney in a pale gray ribbon, one of those small single-color details that makes the finished piece feel inhabited. The fills are broad and forgiving, the mood is straight out of a snowed-in evening, and it frames up naturally as December wall decor that can honestly stay up until March.
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.

16 DMC colors over 11,236 drills is a mid-complexity build — enough palette changes to stay interesting, not enough to feel like admin. The workload skews blue: 7 of the 16 colors are blue steps, covering 72% of the canvas, with DMC 995 alone accounting for 17% (1,855 drills). 7 accent colors each cover under 1% of the canvas — small bags that carry the highlights, so keep them sorted.
