Sprite Stitch Board!

Hello, I have a pattern request - my friend has told me that the "Beast" from Beauty and the Beast is her dream man, and for her birthday I would love to cross stitch a mini Beast for her!

The picture is here:

I want to keep the colours quite strong and basic - so if possible, maybe 16 colours? (Or not more than 20)

I will stitch on 14 count aida and would like it to be approx 7 inch x 4 inch but happy to make it smaller or larger depending upon what you recommend.

Hello. I tried my best with 20 colors and a 10 by 6 inch grid but it doesn't look too hot. However, a 30 color beast that is 12 by 7.2 looks pretty good. I could clean it up and make it look a bit better but I didn't want to do all that if you're not happy with the larger size.
This is my first attempt at a pattern so I'm sorry if I missed something. Hope it works for you!

Hi noleygirl411, thanks very much for this, I'm sorry it has taken so long to reply (work exploded and my cross stitch dreams were put on hold for a little while). I'll try to open these at home and let you know which I end up using. Thank you very very much and again, sorry for the delay!

Hello again, I've tried opening this (with the forum recommended pattern viewer) but it is not letting me, is it possible to see the pattern as a PDF? sorry!!!

Hello! I'm having trouble with PCStitch and I'm off to work soon so it may be a day before I can figure it out. I think you can download the free version of pcstitch to view .pat files in? I'm sorry for all the trouble, I'll figure it out as soon as I can.

I figured it out

Both look great!! I'll print both and decide from there. Thanks very much, again!
