Anne Elliott's photos with the keyword: Happy Chinese New Year

My son was born in Seria, Brunei, Borneo "MANY" years ago. Population is a mix of Malays and Chinese. Every year, I look forward to seeing the design for the new Chinese New Year (Year of the Ox) postage stamp(s) for Canada. I reckon they are some of the most beautiful stamps produced in Canada each year. Thanks once again, fd, for creating the Motivator program : )

I always look forward each year to when the new Canadian Chinese New Year stamps come out. As you can see, the actual stamp is just the left hand portion. What you can't see is that the snake's head uses "sculpted embossing" and is a shiny "gold" finish. I was going to post this image vertically, but for some reason just couldn't get the text to do what I wanted it to : )

My son was born in Seria, Brunei, Borneo "MANY" years ago, where we lived for three and a half years. Population is a mix of Malays and Chinese. Every year, I look forward to seeing the design for the new Chinese New Year postage stamps for Canada. I reckon they are some of the most beautiful stamps produced in Canada each year - too bad they can't design such spectacular stamps for other occasions, too! The bright red and the raised gold look good together. Chinese New Year begins on January 23rd and Steven's birthday is on January 25th, but sometimes I combine the two for a Flickr post.
