Operation Smile features new artwork on BRE

Okay, we’re rapidly closing in on the end of 2023, and I’m trying to finish up a couple more blog posts before we head into the new calendar year. The subject of today’s entry is a business reply envelope distributed in mailings from the nonprofit Operation Smile this month.

The stamp-sized designs printed on the envelope depict a kite, a giraffe, and an anthropomorphized Earth holding a red heart. All three designs appear to be based on crayon artwork.

We received a pair of these in the mail: one in a mailing addressed to my wife, and one in a mailing addressed to me.

I rather prefer the appearance of the BRE distributed by Operation Smile in a fall mailing, which featured three different designs with simulated die cut perforations. They looked more like real stamps!
