cross-stitch: Rainbow Pride Planet pin

Gosh, cross-stitching little things is addictive. They finish so fast!
I made this Rainbow Pride Planet as a pin. The model is on black fabric but I hate stitching on black and only the edge was going to show, so I went with white. Stitched on 18 count to fit the largest cover buttons I could find—which I recommend, they were super easy to put together, and then I just used Krazy Glue to attach a bar pin. Mostly stitching on 18 count was a relief after the 22 count of the Captain Marvel keychain, but I am super tired of stitching on Aida; 18 count is probably big enough that I could have used the sewing method, but the fabric was just so stiff. (Also occasionally the stitches would get a little crowded, which is visible to the extreme perfectionist such as myself.)

I have the materials to make another one of these, does anyone want one in due course?
+1 (thumbs-up, I see you, etc.)?

(I know, I know, I should be mono-cross-sticherous if I want to finish anything haha. Lessons learned from a previous life of cross-stitching.)
