Green Generations

My tag is very simple this week,
 I wanted to display these beautiful stamps to be admired on their own
I thought they were quite apt in celebration of this diamond jubilee year
three generations of royal Monarchy, 

the queen and the young queen,

 her father King George VI and his father George V.
Tag: Recycled brochure cover
Embellishments: Organza ribbon, four original postage stamps, paper rose with yarn.
Tie: Satin ribbon

Thank you everyone for your lovely comments on my tag last week
 I'm looking forward to seeing what everyone does for this theme.
