Challenge #1 Typography - February 2017 at Oscraps https://ozone.oscraps.com/forum/showthread.php?t=34308
I spent way too much time on Tagxedo.

I brainstormed a whole bunch of words that describe my daughter's pet rats. Then I played around with different colors and shapes and fonts. I ended up saving 5 versions!
When I had the one word cloud that I liked best (a heart with a curly tail like they have!), I started on my LO. I used a nice grungy white paper as a good background to the word cloud then added a border, paint smears and gesso.
