Self-adhesive Camping stamps issued by Denmark
Self-adhesive stamp with a motif drawn from Denmark’s marvellous camping life.
The stamps in the ‘Camping Life’ series in the values DKK 6.00 and DKK 8.00 are the result of a competition among students at the Danish Design School.

Croatian Post has released Croatia’s first 2011 stamp – Children’s World. The stamp is dedicated to the International Children’s Festival in Šibenik and bears the motif of a child holding colorful balloons. Hrvoje Šercar, a visual artist from Zagreb, is the author of the drawing which served as the template for the motif, while the stamp itself was designed by Sabina Rešić, a designer from Zagreb. The stamp was issued in an eight-stamp sheet with one pendant featuring the bilingual title of the festival and its logo – a trumpeter.
