The U.S. Postal Service continues its popular Love series with two new stamps, one featuring a kitten and the other a puppy.
The stamp art was painted with oils on wood panel, then scanned and edited digitally to create the final images.
Cats and dogs are two of America?¡¥s favorite pets, and it is no surprise that connecting with pets has benefits. They provide companionship and love; interacting with a cuddly kitten or a playful puppy can reduce loneliness and elevate mood. Some studies have even shown that pets might also be responsible for lower blood pressure, improved heart health, and a decrease in stress.
The Love stamps are being issued as Forever stamps in panes of 20. These Forever stamps are always equal in value to the current First-Class Mail one-ounce price.
