【A Chinese Style Malaysian Stamp Maximum Card ：Chinese Seal】

【 浓浓中国风味的一枚马来西亚邮票极限片：印章】

Pos Malaysia issued a set of stamp to commemorate " 600th Anniversary of the first sail of the Admiral Zheng He", one of the stamp depicts a typical RED Chinese Seal of the Ming Emperor. I was unable to find a postcard of the Ming Emperor's seal, however, I do pocess a set of postcards with all types of Chinese Seals . It was quite pleasant to have this particular Chinese Seal stamp affixed admist the series of Seals, as though the stamp is part of the post card. Can you spot the stamp on the card ? It is a 30 sen stamp, affixed at the bottom left corner of the card, duly cancelled with a First Day of Issue pictorial postmark @ Jalan Laksamana Post Office, where Admiral Zheng He first landed in Melaka. 

马来西亚邮政在2005年发行一套纪念“郑和下西洋600周年”邮票，其中一枚的图画是一个明朝皇帝的玉玺(中国朱砂印章)。当时很想制作一枚浓浓中国味 的极限片，找不到一枚配对的皇帝玉玺，却找得一本中国印章的明信片本。我尝试把30sen邮票贴上去明信片，看到邮票的朱砂印并排在一系列的中国印当中， 效果还真不赖!很高兴制作了一枚浓浓中国风的马来西亚极限片。30sen邮票的所在位置，你们看得到它贴在那里呢？是的，邮票就贴在片的左下角。我以马六 甲红屋邮政局的首日图案戳盖了邮票，因为这一个地点是郑和船队登陆马来西亚的地点。共赏！

Blending the stamp with the overall picture of a maximum card

For a quick glance of the maximum card, one may overlook the existence of a stamp within the card for the stamp had been placed  to fit into the overall picture as though it is part of the picture. At times, it is FUN to juggle with the placing of the stamp  so as to achieve a harmonious look of a maximum card. Try it on your next creation of a maximum card.
