2018 “Love Flourishes” Forever Stamps 100pcs

On January 18, 2018, the USPS released the Love Flourishes Forever stamp in Phoenix, Arizona. This stamp is part of the USPS’s long-standing Love series, which began in 1973. The stamp art features a fanciful garden of colorful flowers surrounding the word “Love” written in cursive script. Hand-painted with gouache on paper by artist Anna Bond, the original art is whimsical and vibrant, at once retro and timeless. The flower garden includes stylized roses, peonies, and dahlias in pink, coral, and yellow, with pale blue-green berries and gold fronds and leaves. Art director Greg Breeding designed the stamp using Bond’s original art.
