2021 “Happy Birthday” Forever Stamps 100pcs

On September 9, 2021, the USPS released the Happy Birthday Forever stamp in Toast, North Carolina. This stamp conveys exuberant greetings by calling to mind the childhood excitement of a birthday party. Each of the five letters in the word “HAPPY” is inspired by a different party decoration:

• A red and green piñata

• An orange and yellow striped birthday hat

• A red piece of frosted cake

• A green birthday candle

• An orange balloon sculpture
  
  The word “BIRTHDAY” appears below in blue, with “Forever” and “USA” centered in smaller red lettering at the bottom. Surrounding all the design elements is a flurry of multicolored ribbons and confetti.

The stamp was designed by Lisa Catalone Castro and Rodolfo Castro, featuring a digital illustration by Rodolfo Castro. Ethel Kessler served as the art director.
