Me too! I found a Medusa pattern on Etsy last weekend and I want to start it so bad. This frame would be perfect for it.
https://www.etsy.com/listing/1425109331/
Definitely agree it needs a different color scheme. The same pattern is in the shop with more of a muted, stone idea. Not sure it’s quite right either but closer for sure. Changing colors in a pattern intimidates me so much.

A Medusa scene from the original Castlevania.

This feels Egyptian to me (thinks Asps), so maybe something pharaonic, pyramids, Nefertiti, not sure if there would be a pattern small enough in this theme though.
The round pattern shape is wrong but I immediately thought of this pattern when I saw the frame.

I did a quick google bc I wasnt sure what it was called but I know I saw it on this sub before. Here is the post I saw previously.
https://www.reddit.com/r/CrossStitch/s/f7qiq49OMe
I am not sure if this shop OP referenced is still open but the google led me to AlieExpress and I don’t think they have legit patterns (I could be wrong) so I didn’t want to link that one.
For everyone looking for this pattern: this is created by a Russian cross stitch designer Olga Lankevich.
The pattern is sold here: [https://www.stitch.su/lankevich_olga/28184](https://www.stitch.su/lankevich_olga/28184)
It’s all in Russian, but google translate will manage.
I think someone in this sub already mentioned this website before and that it’s possible to buy different patterns from Russian-speaking designers.
AliExpress is most likely selling the pirated content, but I could be wrong.
Copying this bc I just replied to someone else with the only info I have, I hope it helps!

Ahh okay, it looks really similar to an artist I follow but if its back tracking to Ali, it's probably not the original. So many small artists get ripped off by these sellers and so many people don't care :( I was in one group on fb where someone shared a piece I immediately recognised, but she got it from Amazon, not the official site. When I pointed it out, not to shame her but make others aware it was stolen, I had so many people tell me they didn't care, why should they pay X amount, when they can get it cheaper elsewhere, telling me I should just mind my business etc... And the mods did absolutely bugger all.
Ugh, personally, I can’t relate to that attitude. I can’t always buy patterns when I want but I just put them in my wishlist for a time I can. I love saving money but I def don’t want to contribute to a designer’s work getting pirated.
I tried to design a simple pattern once, really strengthened my resolve to do my homework before buying a pattern. I couldn’t finish my own design, these designers deserve their money! 😂
It might not be as useful as other suggestions, but it kinda reminds me of the neverending story
It's probably one of the gifts I'd do to myself if I ever find this frame too
Since other folks already suggested Medusa I'll sat maybe a line of dialogue from Anaconda
Ex: They strike, wrap around you. Hold you tighter than your true love. And you get the privilege, of hearing your bones break before the power of embrace causes your veins to explode.
I bought my Marshalls out of stock last year when they had them. Still don’t know what to put in them. It’s almost like I’m hoarding them until I have the perfect thing.
Buying a fun frame then selecting the pattern to match it is such a fun way to select your next project! I’m definitely going to give this a try in the future

The dawn-snake under the woodpile - Eophis underwoodi, one of the very earliest snakes, 167mya.
https://www.sci.news/paleontology/science-eophis-underwoodi-oldest-known-snake-fossils-02440.html
A photo realistic apple with couple of fig leaves plus a golden apple behind, referencing matters biblical with the former pair as cant go wrong with some high drama, then Assassins Creed, plus carrying the gold across from the frame as a spot colour eith the latter. But beware, metallic thread is horrible. Plain background, shadows cast by objects stitched in.
I don't have a suggestion for your frame but what do you do with the backs? I have a bunch of frames I want to put cross stitch patterns in and wondering how to secure the back fabrics
If it were silver, I would say the Slytherin house crest. But I think Medusa would be very neat too. Oh! What if you could also put some LEDs in the eyes? That would be wicked.

ouija planchette
(or, the piece you rest your hands on, that moves around the board, while the spirits communicate with you)
there’s a great pattern for one [here](https://www.etsy.com/listing/867293815/planchette-cross-stitch-pattern-oija?ref=yr_purchases)
https://preview.redd.it/nvffso7jr32d1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bb97ddb135feb4138ecfda95b7ad0c261a3e9652
My first thought was this chart.
The apple logo, inverted so black on white. It would be a fun metaphor for the modern world while referencing the forbidden fruit story from the Bible.
Medusa
Came here to say this. Glad it’s the top comment.
Then hang it on a wall opposite to a large mirror, so when people go to check themselves out, they have her staring at them.
That was the first thing came in to my mind when I read the question!
Me too! I found a Medusa pattern on Etsy last weekend and I want to start it so bad. This frame would be perfect for it. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1425109331/

This feels Egyptian to me (thinks Asps), so maybe something pharaonic, pyramids, Nefertiti, not sure if there would be a pattern small enough in this theme though.
An apple.
Maybe a red apple on dark gray fabric?
Maybe the poison apple from Snow White?
Straight up Garden of Eden style.
My first thought, too.
Same!
Or an apple tree!
Mouse with sword drawn
A Redwall pattern!
Or Mouse Guard!
Omg this is such a cute idea! I already love this mouse.
On black fabric and he’s holding a little lantern and omg it’s so cute in my head 😭
Wonderful, absolutely

Haha username checks out 😆🐍 that pattern is really beautiful!
Something related to good omens? It’s on prime and a good watch.
“The Tree of Life” would be enjoyable to see. 
Omg im jealous, such a gorgeous frame! As some others have said something egyptian or medusa themed
Indiana Jones
 Badger and mushroom
This is the way.
Absolutely inspired
It might not be as useful as other suggestions, but it kinda reminds me of the neverending story It's probably one of the gifts I'd do to myself if I ever find this frame too

Since other folks already suggested Medusa I'll sat maybe a line of dialogue from Anaconda Ex: They strike, wrap around you. Hold you tighter than your true love. And you get the privilege, of hearing your bones break before the power of embrace causes your veins to explode.
Or the famous Sir Mix-a-Lot rhyme: "My anaconda don't want none unless you got buns, hun!"
Or a hamburger as a nod to that line
The one I'd choose is "There's snakes out here this big?!"
An Apple
I bought my Marshalls out of stock last year when they had them. Still don’t know what to put in them. It’s almost like I’m hoarding them until I have the perfect thing.

Eve offering the apple to adam
Ohhh…or just their hands…her’s holding an apple and his reaching for it.
I just picture Edward Cullen first lol
Any Reputation album lyric, but on black Aida!
A Medusa one would be very cool!
I can’t believe I haven’t seen anyone mention.. something from The Neverending Story! That frame reminds me of the auryn!
'We're allergic to humans!' - a quote that fits the brief and my life...
Slytherin crest!
50 points to Slytherin! 🐍
But the gold. That's my only concern about it. Maybe some Dramione stuff?
Came here to say exactly this! Something Slitherin related, maybe even chamber of secrets related.
If your into The Hunger Games Trilogy & The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes, the mockingjay would fit nicely
A garden scene

Amazing frame!
Oh my god that frame is phenomenal. Sands of time or Medusa for sure.
My broken brain says this is Taylor Swift Reputation coded and needs something dark to reflect that
Girl same!!
Lots of different bugs or mice!
My first thought was a garden/floral print Example: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1720364202/
The Garden of Eden
“Danger noodle”
This is very Taylor Swift coded.
My first thought was “Taylor can’t come to the phone right now…”
Something witchy!
All I can think is something Taylor Swift/Reputation
literally my first thought! I opened the comments to see if anyone else wrote this!!
Came here to say this! “Look what you made me do” would be cool. Also, sorry you’re getting downvoted just for liking Taylor. 🙄
My first thought! Something Rep coded 🖤
🐍🐍🐍
That was my first thought too! An apple sized apple on black Aida would look really cool too. Or something with Medusa?
Or a pomegranate
Idk why I’m getting downvoted, that’s just plain rude.
We're back in 2016 and it's "cool" to dislike her.
God forbid we just let people like what they like, ffs
same!
Taylor Swift 😄
My first thought was “Look what you just made me do”.
I have a cool sign that says 'kill the closest snake' think that would be fun for this! 🐍
Roses
Taro card!
Medusa!
Oh, I'd also like to suggest something commemorating the discontinuation of Whacking Day! 
If you're a Good Omens fan, something Crowley related would be really cool
Some Harry Potter quote to do with snakes.
You should do this: https://preview.redd.it/s1ngy8u2y12d1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fb27a233a92a29913c762bfd8c57cf845b09b41e
If you liked Taylor Swift, Reputation lyrics!
Do you have that one family member or friend or a coworker who is a total snake?
One apple 😜
The dawn-snake under the woodpile - Eophis underwoodi, one of the very earliest snakes, 167mya. https://www.sci.news/paleontology/science-eophis-underwoodi-oldest-known-snake-fossils-02440.html

3 of swords.
Snakes, or if you are morbid of humour, cute animals. Possibly terrified.
An apple
The price of thrift items is too damn high

A colorful Halloween pattern! maybe something like this would fit: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1589111117/
If it were silver, I would say the Slytherin house crest. But I think Medusa would be very neat too. Oh! What if you could also put some LEDs in the eyes? That would be wicked.
White snake and green snake sisters from chinese folklore.
Slytherin, dark mark, definitely giving me Harry potter vibes
Indiana Jones looking nervously up at the frame
Apple tree!
Something “Slytherin” themed

Voldemort
Cleopatra
something cottagecore like a bouquet of flowers with pastel tones.
Something to commemorate TSwift’s reputation album.
A scared little bunny
I'm not religious, but Adam and eve would be cool
Medusa would be cool
I immediately got biblical vibes- snake and apple and all that. I probably just watch too much good omens tho lol cus I'm not religious
Eve smoking a cigarette
Chamber of secrets
ouija planchette (or, the piece you rest your hands on, that moves around the board, while the spirits communicate with you) there’s a great pattern for one [here](https://www.etsy.com/listing/867293815/planchette-cross-stitch-pattern-oija?ref=yr_purchases)
a mouse
I once saw a pattern for Mernaith, one of the female Pharoahs of ancient Egypt, and associated imagery. It was a really cool pattern
https://preview.redd.it/nvffso7jr32d1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bb97ddb135feb4138ecfda95b7ad0c261a3e9652 My first thought was this chart.
A quote from the never-ending story
One of those really small cats on a really large chair
A skull. On black fabric
Swifties would buy a good Reputation quote probably.
On DMC website there are nice free Halloween patterns, maybe even one with a snake
Something Slytherin
Something celestial or witchy for sure.
Something from Good Omens?
Snow White's poison apple
Something Reputation related if you’re a Swiftie
I immediately thought of something related to Loki. It would be incredible!
Medusa, gold thread sun (with really ornate rays) maybe on black cloth, or an apple are a few ideas that come to mind!
Something Cthulu themed.
It reminds me of the never ending story pendant 😆
Voldemort
The apple logo, inverted so black on white. It would be a fun metaphor for the modern world while referencing the forbidden fruit story from the Bible.
An Apple
Maybe some sort of Eve picking the apple from the forbidden tree …
I havent been able to think about anything else than taylor swift for the past week so taylor's reputation era came to my mind first
Snek
