I had never seen those, and I find them very beautiful. And an interesting theme!
Here you can see my F-stamp.

I like the tiled background on these, there would have been a lot more of these still in existence in speciality shops in 1989.
My F is here

What a great first day cover (and bonus 'F'). My entry for F is here.

Beautiful stamps and FDC, and I love the cow and rooster on the tiles on the back!

My Sunday Stamps show feathers and fountain pens.

I enjoy stamps. it's always a real honor for the photographer or artist to have their work chosen to be on a stamp. I can see why people enjoy collecting them.
