Hello all.
I really need your help. I picked up this awesome picture frame it has real fossils in it. I also have a boyfriend who is still dinosaur crazy and one of his favorite dino games in Jurassic park. I have the screen shot of the Triceratops below only issues i think there maybe is the size it needs to be 1 1/2 by 2 1/2 inches i know it is TINY but the frame is just to perfect not to use. I want to surprise my man either for valentine's day or if it overly complicated I am sure it will be done by his birthday in July.

OK here is the beast below just want him no background or anything like that. As for the colours I don't like working in a lot of different colours but I do not want the picture to be distorted. DMC threads prefered.

Really hope one of you awesome people can help. I wish I had the skills to make my own patterns.

Thank you all so much.

Stroma

I had a fiddle, but with 24 count aida (which is really the smallest you can work with) its still 7 inches long. There's simply no way I can get it down to 2.5inches without reducing it so much that it just looks like a brown blob... You need to get an image thats at maximum 55 pixels by 33 pixels. If you find one, I'll see what I can do.

No, it wasn't... The snes game (which is the screen shot you have I think?) has too many pixels. Each pixel represents a stitch. You can't fit the dinosaur in anyway. If you find a screenshot from the nes version it'll be fine, but that screenshot will never work... sorry

Uh, that's not what I mean. There are only a limited amount of thread colours, so when you use an image like that, it just looks like a brown mess:

The image you have has very subtle changes in browns, you need something that's more defined as a dinosaur. For example the main character has very defined colours:

So he would be a lot easier to stitch, where as the dinosaur is just generally brown...
