Image description (Alt Text): This cross-stitch piece depicts an ocean scene with a yellow and orange sky, a bright yellow sun, and a red boat tipping upon a line of blue waves. The boat has three blue circular windows, and two sails–a white one with blue shadows around the edges and a green-and-blue striped one. There is a pink flag on a red flagpole on the right end. Below the ship, a dolphin swims in the blue and green waves, and below that the water is shown in an ombre of blue, green, and grey shades with the same wave pattern as above in alternating directions. A yellow fish with blue vertical stripes swims by, and a red starfish and pink oyster shell rest on the seafloor. There is a white border around all the sides.
