This is a wonderful set of postcards to enjoy and to color. Most sets of coloring postcards I have purchased have 20 postcards. In this set, you receive 40 postcards to color and 40 of the same designs already colored. That makes for a huge set comparatively. The designs are detailed and somewhat intricate as the characters have been reduced to a smaller size. I found that my smaller nib gel pens, ultra-fine nib markers and sharp pointed pencils could get into the small areas well.

The postcards are printed to two a page. Each page has two of the same design, one is already colored and the other is not. You can use the colored design as a guide or simply enjoy it as you let your own color palette take over (this is what I plan to do.)

The postcards separate via perforations and have an area for stamp and address already defined on the back of the page. The paper is a light weight card stock and is white and smooth to the touch.

Alcohol-based markers seep through the page. If you use these, be sure to put a piece of paper or card stock under your working page to keep ink from seeping through to the next page. Water-based markers, India ink pens and gel pens do not. Gel pens definitely require additional drying time as they seem to sit on top of the smooth page rather than be absorbed rapidly. Colored pencils work well except when blending with a blender stick. In that case, the colors smear more than blend.
