Description: This multicolored horizontal postage stamp displays a specialized botanical sculpture consisting of a perfectly circular arrangement of overlapping light green leaves ringed by an outer frame of dark teal-blue foliage. The textured art piece is positioned over a natural backdrop of earthy brown mulch, dry straw, and scattered green blades of grass. Running vertically along the left-hand border is the capitalized theme inscription "SPRINGTIME" in a semi-transparent white font. The upper-right corner features the silver-grey profile silhouette of Queen Elizabeth II, which sits directly above the prominent face value denomination "35".
