Thank you to Debra Mulnick

Clever idea to put the band in front of the music notes. :) I like it!

Debra wrote that the picture of the band was from Bremen, Germany.

This kind of pictures, called (among other names) Glanzbilder in German, are used like stickers but aren't self-adhesive and they are embossed.

They were very popular for collecting, gluing in friendship books, decorating letters, decoration of the wrapping of sweets, etc. and I think they came out of fashion during my childhood in the 80ies. I got a big box of Glanzbilder from an older cousin once and still have some; I like the old-fashioned vibes of them. Nowadays you can buy them in some shops again as old-fashioned became fashionable again. Often the designs are made with the old samples, just printed new.
