Calgary.: AL.:

What a great card !!! this card has so many great attributes with the Inuit Art of The birds and the Wolves,  and apparently, the wolves are seldom seen in Inuit Art.
 The absolutely lovely gold "Raised" stamps of The Chinese Lunar New Year are sensational.. Like last years set of the "Year of the Snake"2013 bringing in the New Year ,"Year of the Horse" 2015.       This year 2015 it is "The Year of The Goat.", chasing off the "Year of the Horse ". I really like the way that these cards are saying goodbye to one year and are welcoming in another. This is The New Year of 2015..The "Year of The Goat" , on The Chinese Zodiac calendar. This Chinese Lunar New Year Card and stamps are Released by Canada Post. These are such lovely stamps and I thank you Rob for going out of your way to get these for me as you know I really love These Chinese Lunar New Year cards and stamps. Also really like the Post Office cancellation stamp.!! "Elbow River"
