SUNDAY school pupils from Malvern could be putting their stamp on next year's festivities after designing a Christmas window made from tissue paper.
The children, who attend sessions at St Matthias' in Malvern Link, spent two months constructing the Nativity scene and planned to give it to the congregation as a Christmas present. But the parishioners were so impressed they suggested sending the window to the Post Office to be considered as a future Christmas stamp.
They are also thinking of using it for the church's 2002 Christmas card.
"The children started doing the window at the beginning of November," said Mary Panton-Kent, leader of the Sunday school.
Packed
"They only have 25 minutes a session, so it's quite a packed schedule. They had to take the work home with them sometimes."
The youngsters used 8,000 pieces of tissue paper, sticking them to 50 blocks of card, to make the window.
"Their faces lit up when it was assembled," added Carol Morris, a volunteer with the group.
"When you stand back from it, it looks fantastic."
