The Invasion of the Red, The Mudan (Peony) Style

Red is bright, red is magnificent, red is alluring. The infusion of red flowers brightens one's day, but the birds, while puny, add to the splendor.



This name stamp of mine, which perhaps departs from the regular shape, is made in Taiwan through Harriet Lin during her last trip home. Apparently, this particular crafter asks for one's character traits to pattern the shape of and characters, the Chinese ones of course, on the stamp.

What caught my eye right away is the name stamp. It looks regal and royal. Again, Mom's peonies are always a sight to behold. It seems to stay quietly in the background but draws you in with its charm.
