I like the choice of the cream surround. Nice commemorative sheet.

Seems appropriate for her daughter's 90 Birthday celebrations.

Amazing to see the change in fashion over her lifespan. Great stamp choice.

Nice stamp sheet design, I love the combination of the black and white stamp photo and the coloured foreground, with the similarity that both the male lion and the queen mom turn their heads towards us.

I am always wondering why skutcheon lions have their tongues out - Dutch lion does so, too.
