This is great. I'm always in awe of people who can come up with ideas for collages. You must be a well read person to have "stories" to create this way.

Thank you, raingirl. I tried dozens of backgrounds before finding that particular one, which seemed absolutely right for it. And you're correct in noting the narrative quality of most of my collages - when they feel like stories, like images from an unwritten or unknown narrative, that's when I'm fairly sure I'm on the right track.
