I know these USPS 1999 Aquarium Fish stamps have been shown a few times here already but I just love them! Used them on a couple of envelopes tonight
Here is an amazing sheet I received on a package:
And another Cocos (Keeling) sheet that AusPost released in March last year:
Here are some of my favourites!
Warriors of Light, a wartime stamp dedicated to infrastructure workers
Ukrainian Carols in the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra (self-explanatory)
The Garden of Divine Songs, dedicated to poet and philosopher Hryhorii Skovoroda
And the wonderful Ukrainian Yard 1, 2, and 3! Kost Lavro, who did the art for these, is a famous children’s book illustrator, his stamps are so friendly-looking.
Now that is great design!
I love how colorful these stamps are
I’m not sure this qualifies, but I’m sharing it anyway, because it’s a single stamp with a fabulous border.

Oh these are adorable!
