Background:

The new Spooky Silhouettes Forever stamps offer fun, frightful views of scenes that symbolize the annual celebration of Halloween.

The stamps feature digital illustrations with Halloween motifs rendered as black silhouettes in eerily backlit windows. The images include a cat with an arched back beneath a raven perched on a bare tree branch, all against a yellowish-green background; two ghosts against an orange background; a spider and a web against a red background; and three bats against a purple background. These stamps are issued as Forever stamps, which are always equal in value to the current First-Class Mail 1-ounce price.

Customers may purchase the Spooky Silhouettes Forever stamps at The Postal Store at usps.com/shopstamps, by calling 800-STAMP-24 (800-782-6724) and at Post Office facilities nationwide. A variety of stamps and collectibles also are available at ebay.com/stamps.

The Postal Service receives no tax dollars for operating expenses and relies on the sale of postage, products and services to fund its operations.
