Seychelles Christmas - 1971

SEYCHELLES Christmas postage stamps from 1971. 

- The green stamp is the 15-cent value featuring Santa Claus on a giant tortoise, designed by Edison Thérésine. 

- The blue stamp is the 10-cent value depicting Santa on a flying mat, designed by Jean-Claude Waye Hive. 

- A third design (not shown) with Santa in a beachside hammock was also issued in this set.

I received these stamps from Seychelles. They came affixed to an envelope with an enclosed QSL postcard from a radio station (FEBA) that I received  on a snowy evening in Colorado, long ago in the early 1970s.
