Year of the Rooster

The USPS Lunar New Year of the Rooster stamp is the 10th in a series by the artist Kam Mak. I really like the series which focuses on different aspects of this celebration, although it has been criticized for not featuring the zodiac animals more prominently.

You can't really say that about this year's stamp, as a rooster on a red hongbao is the main focus. There's also a gold rooster top right.

Here's one on a fun envelope from Mary.

And a beautiful rooster stamp on this postcard from Eric.

This was stamped with the official La Poste Year of the Rooster stamp. Thanks for sending it, Eric, the stamp is beautiful.

Bonus rooster from MailArtMartha, that spent a long time in transit, was delivered back to her, and finally made it.
