Today the Postal Service dedicates the Love Flourishes stamp
at the Phoenix Convention Center in Phoenix, AZ.
The stamp art features a fanciful garden of colorful flowers
surrounding the word “Love” written in cursive script. Hand-painted with opaque
watercolors on papery 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. The word “Forever” appears in the lower right-hand
corner of the stamp, and “USA” is on the lower left. Art director Greg Breeding
designed the stamp using Bond’s original art.
