Geometric Snowflakes Forever First Class Postage Stamps

Each of the four designs draws a snowflake as flat geometry rather than as a photograph of a crystal. Real snowflakes form in the millions, no two alike, and last minutes - the designers treated that variety as a license to experiment with shape rather than an obligation to be accurate. The result reads as pattern, closer to textile design than to a nature stamp.

The useful thing about that is what it leaves out. There is no Santa, no tree, no religious reference, nothing dated - so these carry a mixed holiday card list, and they keep working through January and February when the Christmas stamps start to look late. Businesses sending seasonal cards to clients tend to pick this kind of design for exactly that reason. Booklets of 20, four designs repeating through the book. Forever value applies to whatever is left over.
