I find it interesting how stamps can be used to illustrate various things, other than stamp collecting. For instance, you often see advertisements for travel that use stamps to leave the impression of having visited many countries. In fact, this past week I received a graduation greeting card that was covered with illustrations of stamps from around the world, suggesting that now that I had graduated it was time to “see the world”. I’ve even used stamps to illustrate other things on other websites of mine. Here is a prime example: http://www.anglingrods.com/trout_feeding_behavior.htm, where I used the Canadian Fishing Flies stamps from last year to add color to an article about fly fishing. If you look around, I’ll bet you can find many examples of this. Why don’t you list some in the comments area?
