This definitely looked like a tricky challenge prompt! Great job to all the entries - there were some particularly creative ideas out there this May.

Dang. You folks continually impress me, month after month after month. This month the challenge was to create a set of stamps, and y'all delivered. Here are the thumbnail pics (make sure to click on them individually to get a larger picture):
GET YER POSTAGE HERE!
Note: I put Ben King's entry into the poll since he didn't state he was dropping out, but there is no pic in the scraper since he also didn't attach a ### Latest WIP ### tag.
Voting will run until this time Sunday night, and don't forget to hand out rep as you see fit.

I think it's cruelty putting out this much quality and expecting us to vote on them.

Many great entries, I chose my favourite one .
Holy cow man!!! I don't think I can even vote.
These are all so well done.
I will just have to go spread rep.
Whoever wins, you all did an incredibly good job.

Oh my god, you guys are horrible - how should one choose between these fantastic entries!?
After some consideration I went to vote for JO and aeshnidae. And then I also gave a vote to Ifrix, whose idea behind the stamps is absolutely amazing!
These all look fantastic and it was a really tricky decision...
In the end I went with Tonquani for the stamps themselves, Vobland for the concept and theme behind the stamps and great use of colour, and SuperCiuk for the layout and looking like an actual aniversery stamp sheet layout.
But man Ifrix, your concept of the triangular stamp sheet was great too! And Ho's colour and layout... and aeshnidae's presentation and design... I also really liked the contrast in styles of the stamps in damonjynx and how well they went together anyway... and timallen your presentations and design were great too I'm curious how your last two stamps would have looked completed!... And Voolf your design and the two-tone work was gorgeous too... basically wow...

Yeah so many incredible entries, limited myself to 3
I must admit to being sceptical when I first saw the thread in the challenge suggestions. I thought there would be very few entries or little variation between them
I was very wrong...
