WASHINGTON � Letter writers soon will be able to express their sentiments in words and smells.
The U.S. Postal Service announced Monday it soon will issue its first scratch-and-sniff stamps. The stamps feature illustrations of ice pops. The agency said the stamps will �add the sweet scent of summer� to letters.
The 20 stamps depict watercolor illustrations by California artist Margaret Berg. Each of the 10 stamp designs includes two different treats. The words �FOREVER� and �USA� appear along the bottom of each stamp.
The stamps will be issued June 20 at a children�s museum in Austin, Texas.
