Even though we are not in a halloween mood - from a design standpoint these two look great together. Lots of people still had Day of the Dead stamps left. I wonder if they will be available in 2026.
Mary's design (above) is fun. I hope I remember to steal the idea of the name across the bottom. I can think of so many ways to do it where the address would still be very clear for the scanners.
Leslie's (below) might have needed some human eyes - but it was just going across town. I wonder how that works. I have posted, previously, about the one place in the US (I think it is in Utah) where images of envelopes pop up and humans try to figure out what the address is.
Many years ago, there was a woman in our calligraphy guild who had a job with the USPS and she sat at a desk where actual mail that the scanners could not read would slide by on a track, stop in front of her, and she would decipher the address and type in the bar code. I have no idea if such a job still exists. I'll try to find out.
