New Stamp Design

This new French stamp is a scratch-and-sniff. If you could design a stamp, what would yours feature?

A French treasure is being celebrated with its own postage stamp: the baguette. And this one is scratch-and-sniff.

As Paris prepares to host millions of visitors for the Summer Olympics and Paralympics, the new stamp features a cartoon image of a baguette wrapped in a tricolor ribbon.

If you were to design a stamp to celebrate a “treasure” of the country or region where you live, what would you feature? What would the design look like? If it were scratch-and-sniff, what would it smell like?
