WASHINGTON — With a splash of color and a beautiful bouquet, the Where Dreams Blossom Forever stamp was re-issued today by the U.S. Postal Service. Customers may purchase the stamp at usps.com/stamps, the Postal Store, at 800-STAMP24 (800-782-6724), and at Post Offices nationwide. Customers also can visit ebay.com/stamps to shop from a wide variety of postage stamps and collectibles. The stamp was dedicated at a stamp show in Acton, MA.

First issued in 2013, the Where Dreams Blossom stamp adds a fun and contemporary flair to all kinds of correspondence. It is perfect for any occasion and use, including save-the-date notices, response cards and thank-you notes.

Also, the stamp can be used to mail cards and letters that celebrate joyous moments and provide comfort and encouragement. The stamp art highlights a stylized bouquet of flowers similar to the design of the 2-ounce Yes, I Do Weddings stamp, issued in 2013. The stamp artwork was designed by Michael Osborne under the direction of Ethel Kessler.
