Sticking the second class stamps on my cards to post - keep seeing a ghostly face instead of an angel. It's like one of those optical illusions that can be seen as either of two pictures.

Yes, I saw that when my first posted Christmas card arrived - made me do a double take! 
Took me a while to be able to see that it is the Angel Gabriel visiting the Shepherds and their flock

(Though it is larger than life so you don't get the same effect as having a small one in the corner of an envelope
)
I also enjoy the 1st Class Large stamp and caption that's been circulating on 
about this showing Joseph on vocals 
and Mary on Keyboard:

Yes, it does look like an angel. Are angels technically ghosts anyway?

It seems like a nice design. Does it seem to be adapted from a well-known painting?
