TGIF Challenge - using words

This is my collage for TGIF. With the theme of "using words", I first wanted to create a background using snippets of vintage text from different languages. After stamping a few Prima swirls, I took a long time trying to come up with what word(s) I wanted to use over the background and I finally decided to focus on the overall theme of "using words" because words can be so powerful - they can build you up or tear you down, spark you imagination, and give you something to ponder on all day long - so I concluded that they must be chosen wisely. How's that for a long-winded project description!
