A third stamp showcases a host of Bikini Bottom characters including Sandy Cheeks, Patrick Star, Plankton, Mr. Krabs, SpongeBob, Gary, and Squidward Tentacles. The final stamp shows SpongeBob and Patrick frolicking on the sandy ocean floor.
Art director Greg Breeding designed the stamps using artwork provided by Nickelodeon.
