I found 2 vintage name stickers from Tinkle Magazine while sifting my old papers. I was wondering what to do with these stickers? Discard it or keep it! I could not make up my mind due to it's interesting graphic quality... So I clicked some mobile phone photographs.  Then given it to my elder brother's kids.
