Love: True Blue

Issued: January 3rd, 2006

This colorful new First-Class stamp depicts two birds perched on a branch sharing a devoted gaze. The space between them forms a heart. To create his original design, illustrator Craig Frazier arranged paper cutouts into a composition. He then created a digital file of the artwork and applied shades of blue to the birds, setting them against a yellow background. The Love stamps have been popular over the years and previous issuances have featured a wide variety of designs including abstracts, flowers, cherubs, hearts, and the word "LOVE" itself.
