Embroidered Hearts

Hannah is making a dress for Joanna for Valentine's Day.

It turned out so pretty, I think I will use this for the
center of a small decorative pillow for Joanna. 
One of the colors in her room is aqua.
 
The darker blue 'ribbon' didn't quite land in the right spot on the hearts at the sides, probably because I stitched it out at only 72% of the original design.  So I upped it a couple of percentage points, to 74%, checked to be sure the design still fit on the collar, and stitched it out.  Here it is, ready for Hannah to turn into a collar:
