It looks very pretty!

The drawback with using cross stitch designs is when you mirror it or rotate it 90 degrees the stitch direction changes. From my earliest embroidery days (started CS when I was 6 yrs old) I was told the upper stitch of a cross stitch should always go in the same direction. Instead of rotating a design 90 degrees you can mirror it twice (horizontal as well as vertical) and then it is okay, but mirroring once is a problem - so perfectionist as I am for my own use I always digitise a CS design as a pair.
To illustrate I digitised some cherries and did only the top of the CS in a few so you can see the stitch direction - and what happens when rotating and mirroring.
