Balloons are a sure sign of a celebration! Whether celebrating a birthday, retirement or promotion, this stamp set has a bounty of thoughts and images to convey whatever you want to say. Several of the colors used on this card are retiring. Be sure to review the retired lists for your favorites so you can purchase them before they’re gone.
