These Special Delivery inserts are pretty cool looking.  The back looks like a post card while the front looks like a postage stamp with the die-cut deckle edge.

That wraps up 2 of 3 boxes in the break.  I hope everyone enjoyed the 2 Pacific offerings.  If I can find more Pacific releases I'll grab 'em up.  I'd love to find a box of Pacific Vantage at some point.  6 more packs of Gold Label left and it's coming up next!
