Update 9/15/07

Due to an overwhelming amount of interest in the Snow Globe Rubber Stamp set in our store we have sold out,  and it may be a while before we can get more in.  We do have another stamp that will work.  Here is a picture of it:

It is slightly larger than the Stamp in the set, so you would need to add 1 inch to all measurements.  Also instead of one snowman inside you could now have 3.  Or you could do a duplicate of only the one in the middle and put pop dots on just him.  You can find the Inkadinkado Snow Globe Rubber Stamp here.
