"I have never been more proud of any stamps than the ones we are issuing today ..." Postmaster General William F. Bolger, April 14, 1982, at the first day ceremony dedicating the pane of Fifty State Birds and Flowers stamps. "... they are everything we wanted them to be. Beautiful, eye-catching, interesting, educational, miniature masterpieces that will be - in a very real sense--a traveling gallery of art."
Stamps were designed and painted by artist Arthur Singer and his son Alan.

Adhering your stamps: Most stamps come with gum on the back that becomes sticky when moistened. Feel free to go old fashioned and lick your stamp before placing it on the envelope. OR you can use a glue stick - Elmer's brand works particularly well.
Postage Tip: Arranging your stamps – technically you can place your stamps anywhere on the face (addressed side) of your envelope. I usually go traditional and cluster the stamps in the upper right corner of the face of the envelope. You can also place them across the top edge of the envelope – this works especially well when your return address is on the back of the envelope and not in the upper left corner.
