Having become stuck over what to do with this page to finish it off, I decided to leave it overnight, ask some fellow crafters for advice and look at it with fresh eyes in the morning. This is what I did in the end, thanks to my crafting friend who joins me in my shed once a week for some companionable craftiness. Thanks to everyone who commented, I did read them all and have made a mental note of some great ideas for future projects.
If you are interested in how I created the background, you can check out my blog post HERE. In the end I decided to go with the speech bubble method of adding the quote as it ties in with the theme of language. Instead of adding a black border directly around the edge of the speech bubble, I drew round the die onto black card and cut it out to provide a separate, wider mat to make it 'pop' against the bright background of flags. I also cut down the rest of the quote into individual sections, matted these onto black card and glued them back onto the new speech bubble. I also offset the speech bubble towards the bottom right hand corner, rather than leaving it more central. I much prefer the new version of the speech bubble quote; it is clean and simple and provides a stark contrast to the busyness of the background, while the colours of the word 'music' emphasise the prompt and tie it in to the background.
