American Scientists - Combination Cover

American Scientists

I started with my design for the

"Combo" - All 4 Stamps Cover...

Thinking about the four Science

Greats I came up with the

"Telescopes 'n Microscopes" theme.

I felt this was a nice tie-in

for them as a group.

I will also be doing individual designs

for each of the four.

There will only be 10 of the "Combo" design made.
