African Theme Set Card


Paula Huira's precision stamp art has been featured in a good many print magazines because it's just plain excellent. She was one of the first illustrators to shine in our previous web site and we often had compliments for her work. There is always an inventiveness, a precision and balanced placement with whatever she chooses to do. People recognize Paula's work as Paula's!

Africa is becoming of greater interest to many and thank you, Paula, for choosing to do three projects with Dee's African set. Now others can choose them too.
