As promised , I like the diamond shaped one from Botswana (anyone see the Dicaprio film Blood Diamond ? , the large circular one from Burundi is also nice and of course all the triangles seperated or together , there is one stamp that isn't really a shape but a shape within a shape (Squared)9/11 tribute stamp from Costa Rica

Cyberboy... that definitely qualifies as an odd shape. I don't usually get too excited about the odd shapes, but that one seems to fit it's subject matter somehow.

djd I'll bet your Canadian contributions went over great with kids. It would be wonderful if a few issues like that could plant the collecting bug in some youngsters.

Speaking of fun things that appeal to kids... how the heck do you access all the different smiley faces? I used one in my initial post, but haven't seen a link to them since.

Found this one today. Haven't identified it yet, but I think it may be Saudi Arabia.
