Hand-painted with opaque watercolors 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. The word \u201cForever\u201d appears in the lower right-hand corner of the stamp, and \u201cUSA\u201d is on the lower left. Art director Greg Breeding designed the stamp using Bond\u2019s original art.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The Postal Service receives no tax dollars for operating expenses and relies on the sale of postage, products and services to fund its operations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What: The U.S. Postal Service celebrates love of all kinds with the Love Flourishes Forever stamp.
