[ID: three postal stamps with stylized fairytale-like illustrations of forest animals with vivid colours. the first stamp is pastel green and has the head of a deer in the middle. there are roses growing from its horns, a small bird sitting on the horns and brilliant flowers in the background. the second stamp is light pink and has a bright blue bird with its wings spread open. the bird is building a nest on a branch that has flowers on it. the third stamp is pale yellow and has a siberian flying squirrel holding a seed and crouching on a tree branch with more brightly coloured flowers on it. all of the stamps say suomi finland at the bottom and 2021 in the upper left corner and have a small map of finland in the bottom corner.]
