Tiny art makes me happy. Stamps are a particularly fantastic form of tiny art: gorgeously rendered little compositions, elegantly framed by a perfectly perforated border, punctuated by numbers and letters, and about as utilitarian as it gets. I love the idea of a themed "set" of subjects, and the visual repetition of a full sheet. Those featuring animals of any kind are obviously of special interest to me and I can't help but collect these generally inexpensive little treasures whenever I find them.
