I was inspired to embroider a reindeer with fancy curling antlers after seeing a similar one on a Christmas serviette last Christmas.
I used a magic chain stitch on the bottom right which looks tricky but is actually so easy to do. I remembered some little polka dot buttons that I bought while on holiday last year and added them to the top on the chain stitch.

I took a photo of the block before it was beaded. The beaded block at the top of the post definitely looks better. Beading adds life and sparkle and a touch of light.

This is beautiful, Linda! You put so much work into your blocks; the end result will be stunning.
Thanks Gina, it's the end result that has me thinking. I'm not sure if my idea will work yet!
Gorgeous block Linda, love the reindeer, he's beautiful...
Thank you Faye, I like him as well. I think I'd like to try more of that sort of thing.
