Happy 牛 Year!

P.S. The colour red represents prosperity and good luck to Chinese, and 牛 is pronounced as "Niu" in mandarin which is a homophone to "New" in English. And the word 福 above means good luck and fortune, and it's been turned upside down to mean the arrive of good luck, again, the word "upside down" in Chinese is a homophone to "arrive" in mandarin.
