Thank you for sharing!<br />In my own blog I told I used to be afraid of clowns, but now I realize that, apart from heebies, I thought some of them too silly, and that there were definitely some clowns who attracted my attention in a positive way. Like the clown on the last stamp, who looks brave, smart and might have had exciting adventures (I don't know if I am right, but his look makes me think so :-).Heleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18206346242374113741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6759020785662372535.post-18577876599370994412014-06-16T08:28:46.111-04:002014-06-16T08:28:46.111-04:00I think most clowns are rather creepy too.
