February 1st is drawing near and with it will come the final round of Enchantment, the fairy-tale inspired stamp rally event. The theme for this round is Beauty and the Beast and the enchanted rose is a red thread throughout many of the designs.

You stamp these by visiting all the participating stores and when your cards are full you head to the prize location to claim one exclusive prize per card.
