The postage stamps were issued in the 4th quarter of 2022 and there were other goodies you could buy, including playing cards. I cut these image from a Philatelic book my friend Sally gave me. I used a security envelope for the background.
I was talking to my sweet next door neighbor and he informed me I had the date wrong. Today is actually Cinco de Mayo which makes sense. Day of the Dead is November 1. Not sure how I got the dates wrong, but my brain has not been working properly for awhile.
BTW, today is my friend Halle's birthday. I at least remember THAT! Happy Cinco de Mayo everyone and enjoy this post which honors Day of the Dead.

Happy Cinq de Mayo - not celebrated here. And neither is the Day of the Dead.
...happy Cinco de Mayo to you.
Yes it is May 5, Cinco de Mayo, but I like your Day of The Dead layout and those cool bright envelopes. I haven't seen those stamps, but I like them. That's a nice piece.
And Yesterday in a comment you mentioned how Bluebirds would attack dogs. FYI: They watch mine, but their attack is only swooping in to chase them off. They haven't swooped in on the dogs yet, but I have seen them chase off other birds and even a red squirrel. Of course they need to take care of their babies. That's their job. I don't worry about them harming the dogs. I'm more afraid of the dogs being swiped with a bear paw (Pete loves to chase bears which is not good), or attacked by a coyote, bobcat, fisher, or even an owl or hawk that comes into the yard. They're both probably too big for a hawk, but I have seen a hawk take down a woodchuck, which was actually good because they got rid of the one who was destroying my gardens. With those kind of predators, a bluebird doesn't worry me. Smile.
Have a super Monday. hugs-Erika
Happy Cinco de Mayo and a very special birthday shoutout to Halle! It's so sweet that you still managed to honor the Day of the Dead with such a thoughtful post. I love the unique touch of using the postage stamps and security envelope – they give the whole thing a special, personal feel. It’s the thought and effort that count, and this post definitely shows that!
I’ve just shared a new blog post about 'Body Confident You' and a review of the 'Body Confident Kid' book. I’d love to hear your thoughts on it!

those were great stamps. I'm sorry I didn't buy them. Happy Cinco de Mayo!
