2016 is lunar new year of the monkey, so this year I've decorated the smiler sheet for Royal Mail with the paper variety.
Along with the sheets come stickers for the five different elements of earth, fire, metal, water and wood.

Below are enlarged details of some of the monkeys on the sheet. You can see the cuts in the paper that create the patterns.
Smiler sheets for lunar year of the monkey can be purchased from Royal Mail here.
Graphic design was by Laura Bowman, art direction by Gareth Howat and photos by Alice Tosey at hat-trick.
