Earlier this week I found this lovely art card in my mailbox which arrived all the way from Finland after traveling nine days and more than 4,600 miles. It's hard to tell from my scan, but her gloves and dress have glittery accents that shine when held up to the light. She's very elegant.
The stamp is actually very nice, but the scan is pretty awful--too much contrast. The symbol in the middle is really silver. I love the shape. I'm not sure if I've ever seen a round one before. Finland is one of about 40 countries to issue stamps in 2009 concerning climate change. You can see some of them here. Sadly the US did not issue one (not all of us here like to ignore these problems, I assure you), though there are the Go Green series of stamps which are nice.
