The Postal Service will release Vibrant Leaves, a set of postcard-rate stamps, on Friday, March 14.
Each of the five stamp designs spotlights a single autumn leaf from five tree species: aspen, maple, oak, sassafras and sweetgum.
The leaves’ hues range from a rich golden yellow to a deep maroon.
The stamps were designed by Antonio Alcalá, an art director for USPS, from photographs by Marie-France Bélanger, Olga Mitryaeva, Vladimir Pomortsev, Michael Russell and Paulina Wessel.
Vibrant Leaves stamps will be sold in panes of 20 and coils of 100 in Post Offices and on usps.com.
