Sheffield Columns 2 & 3, dragons symbolising Water, Wood, Fire, Earth and Metal.

The A4 (297 x 210mm) self-adhesive Smilers Sheet will be self-adhesive,
printed in lithoraphy by Cartor Security Printing - design details and
credits awaited.

This is not regarded by Royal Mail as a new issue, so there are no official First Day postmarks available. At the time of writing, no sheet-specific sponsored postmarks have been announced.
