My contribution to Round 2 of the HWS Razzle Dazzle fan anthology! 🥳🎉🎊
This is a redraw of a postal stamp that was created in 1953 to commemorate the state visits, made by Indonesia and the Philippines with one another, ever since signing a treaty of friendship (I say that last word while gesturing quotation marks). I recommend taking a look at the compilation by the late Andrew Liptak in his postal history blog.
The only real difference to my interpretation is the visibly romantic undertone. 🫣
