Notice the challenge doesn't even specify it must be a real country. It could be fictional, yes?

I would LOVE to be able to do a fictitious country! Imagine what kind of stamps would come from Middle Earth :-)

EXCELLENT idea! Wonderland stamps! Shangri-la stamps! UTOPIA stamps! Possibilities are endless!

It's worse than I thought, actually. It's still there on my screen no matter what site I go to.

Yep, lettering is allowed, it's flagged as allowing text. Otherwise how else are we supposed to know what country it's from or what denonimation?

This would be great fun. I think there are more fictitious countries than real ones just in comic books.

I know it's expert editing, but are we allowed to create a frame that has the look of a stamp edge?

Yes, if you can draw it in Photoshop (or whatever) you can use it. Likewise you can photograph an actual stamp and blank-out the content. The only thing you can't do is find someone else's piece of "clip art" and use it directly, though in this situation I think you could print something out and take a photo of it and use that.

ETA: Is anyone planning to submit at the minimum allowable size? I'm thinking of uploading a thumbnail-sized version and link to that from my entry, so that people will be able to easily compare how effective it would be small.
