Year of the Snake, 2013

I always look forward each year to when the new Canadian Chinese New Year stamps come out. As you can see, the actual stamp is just the left hand portion. What you can't see is that the snake's head uses "sculpted embossing" and is a shiny "gold" finish. I was going to post this image vertically, but for some reason just couldn't get the text to do what I wanted it to : )
