Although I have some nice map stamps, today I chose for the flags. Because, how coincidental, I happened to have joined a 'flag stamp' chain-something recently, and a week ago my own card returned, provided with three more flag stamps!
This was the front side of my card:
No flag to be seen! But on the back I've put one, so the card was ready to send:
* before it's long journey *
After 6 or 7 weeks of traveling, the card returned home this way:
* after traveling via Estonia, Finland and Malaysia back to the Netherlands *
So, flags from four countries, united in one postcard!
Meanwhile two of the three other cards (from the other participants) arrived at my place. Which I passed on to the next receiver. Before sending out I scanned the back sides so you can enjoy them, too!
This was the first card I received:
The card arrived from Malaysia. Besides the flag image, there is an other interesting thing on this stamp: the postage rate (#60 Sen) has been printed in Braille!
The second card is from Estonia:
With the complete Estonian flag on the front side:
See more stamps on the 'flags and maps' theme at today's blog post, and via the links mentioned, at Sunday Stamps!
That is an interesting project.

You couldn't have been in a more appropriate project than this. Well done.
