This month's photography challenge theme is "Pattern". I picked the red packet (angpow) for Chinese New Year (CNY) as they come with various colourful patterns of prosperity and good fortune.
Angpow has brought back fun memories of my childhood and those years before I'm married where I was still eligible to receive them. ;D It is a monetary gift typically given from the Chinese who are already married to those who are not married yet. :)

Lovely angpow packets! I have a habit of keeping old angpow packets, can be re-used for birthdays and weddings :)

oh wow...soooo lovely angpao!!! just like scrap papers.. hahaha... anyway, no matter how lovely the angpao is, people still more interested to what is inside.. LOL
Trinity: LOL! Yeah, you're right!!
Lovely design of angpao...and I love the colors too
But I guess trinity is right...people tend to be more interested in the inside rather than outside of it :)
Sexy In Red: Hey, there! Welcome to Choc Mint!! :) They were lovely, yes, and I agree that most people just can't wait to see the 'figure' inside he he... but yet there are some who have the passion in collecting these red packets. ;D
