The scaling of the image made the original text a garbled mess and I couldn't fix it. I found a couple text patterns in one of my books that was close to what you originally used and have made the image you wanted with those text patterns. It is just a little bit bigger than you asked for in width, coming in at about 7 inches wide by 10 inches high. Here is what it looks like now:

I hope you like this and if you do, here is the pdf pattern for your stitch:
Piggy&Gir.pdf

I love the pattern too!! :nod
Can I ask if it is possible to have the pdf with the colours instead of the symbols only? I have astigmatism and seeing only symbols make my eyes super tired, the coulours would help me a lot. :blush:

Update! Really loving this project. Actually going to show my friend this whole thread so he can see the process too =3 he had no idea whats going on! He knows hes getting a gift, and i give him tiny hints which makes him frustrated but hes super excited to get it too!! =D Yay!!! I did have an alignment issue in the middle where the piggys butt meets up with girs butt area, but i think i fixed it roughly enough to get it to look realtively normal. I tried.

You are powering through this! It's going to look great when it's done.

Hey folks! All done now! Made a few mistakes in the whole process but i think it turned out very well and the receiver of said gift loved it very much! and trust me when i say the location of the gift in his room will be seen by all i am very proud of my work!

Going to take a bit of a break from cross stitching though, i have a request for a ghili suit to be made and then i am going to finish the alterations for last years Halloween costume that never actually got done!

Thanks so much for your help and if anyone else makes this i would love to see it too!!

Final Product
