Green Pepper Press-Crusade#43

I have an entry for Michelle Ward’s Crusade#43.  If you would like to enter you have two more days after today. Here’s what Michelle suggested you do for this crusade:   “Browse through magazines or newspapers and grab lines of text.  The found typography can be used to create messages, or just placed onto the page as an abstract background.  It’s up to you whether you cut or rip, and whether you place onto your page in a linear format or attach randomly.”
