Ideally there could be a DPC template or script to automatically add the perforation marks as a border so that people can devote all the available pixels to the image -- making entries have exact dimensions might facilitate that ...

Better hope that if this gets scheduled it isn't cancelled later.
I have a special room set aside just for forum participation, my very own post office ... :-(

Normally, I'm all about Art's unique sense of humor. But, brother, that was just painful. |

Are you saying he's a good male boxer?
And I suppose you all want to express your opinion that having Langdon address this issue immediately (the first-day!) is your priority. You may now form a line to your left ...

Can it be any country even if you don't live there?? For example can you take a beach photo in Florida and then create a stamp for say Bermuda? If not I guess we will have a lot of stamps from the U.S. |

It says to pick a country, nothing at all about only being US in you're American etc. By all means do beach pix in Florida and make a Bermuda stamp, if that tickles your fancy :-) |

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 :-) |
