Gingerbread Man Christmas Cross Stitch Bookmark Kit

Gingerbread Man is a counted cross stitch bookmark kit with a Christmas theme: a gingerbread man in a red hat and scarf holds a giant candy cane, and three green buttons run down his front. Holly leaves with red berries decorate the top of the bookmark, a narrow holly border runs along the bottom, and the edge is finished with a red buttonhole stitch.
