龍年也即將進入尾聲，明年接著是蛇年，因此按照傳統都會發行生肖郵票，這組小全張與兩枚郵票即是蛇年的新年郵票，延續了前年兔年的剪影風格。雖然蛇一直都不是吉利的象徵，要將蛇納入代表新年的設計之中，確實不太容易，而剪影風格則巧妙避免了蛇的形象過於寫實嚇人。

"2013 marks the Chinese New Year of the Snake, and Chunghwa Post is issuing a new set of New Year’s Greeting Postage Stamps with two stamps and a souvenir sheet featuring the upcoming year’s animal sign. In keeping with the pop modern art and traditional Chinese ink-wash styles of the 2010 and 2011 issues, the vignette of each of the stamps features an artistically papercutted snake or a pair of snakes colored in bright yellow and royal purple against a pale-orange background with random yellow splatters. The bright colour scheme spotlights the joyous atmosphere of the Year of the Snake."－Chunghwa Post Co.
