Italian Maxi Card with St. George & the Dragon
The borders of this maximum card didn't scan, but the painting & stamp appear fine. This is an Italian se-tenant honoring Vitorre Carpaccio issued in 1976. The stamps are monochrome, one with St. George, the other the dragon.

US Year of the Dragon (2005)
Here is another First Day Cover from the United States 2005 Chinese Lunar New Year Issue. Because of twelve stamps being issued simultaneously and the designs (other than the denomination) being identical to previous years issues, fewer cachet makers created covers than for the 2000 issue.
This cover contains one of the multicolor postmarks, which were new at the time.
