I felt restricted - only one postage stamp is allowed....


For this postcard, I was a bit tempted to affix on it two stamps i.e, the bougainvillea stamp and the allamanda stamp, when I was realizing it as a maxicard. This card might look nice with the two stamps which are concordant with its picture. However, I won't be "allowed" to call it a maxicard anymore; unless the rule is changed or I am able to go back in time to before 1978!

"Only one postage stamp should be affixed on the view side of the picture postcard. Before 1978, when "International statute of Maximaphily" was approved, maximum cards showing several postage stamps are tolerated if one or more of those are concordant with the picture on the postcard." FIP

*Who knows one of these days more than one stamp might be allowed on a maxicard!?

For now, simply put the second stamp without glueing, then scan it as a demonstration.
See what it might look like.

Good! Experimenting is fun, including with virtual MCs.
