Turn the {{photo}} in the input below into a single construction-paper collage, as if a kid tore and glued it in craft class. If there's no photo, invent an ordinary selfie or pet snapshot and make that into the collage.
Work rules:
1. Don't cut the paper cleanly with scissors — show lumpy edges as if torn by hand (no straight lines or smooth curves).
2. Simplify forms into 3-6 blobby shapes — the face is one circle, the eyes are 2 crookedly stuck-on dots, nose and mouth one scrap each. Leave the proportions off.
3. Deliberately leave oozing glue marks, slightly lifted paper corners, and half-overlapped scraps to show it was "just glued."
4. Keep the background a cream construction-paper texture, and add one wobbly crayon-handwritten line (a name or short phrase) at the bottom right — if the writing is neat, it failed.
5. Use 5 or fewer colors from a kindergarten paper palette (red, yellow, blue, green, pink); no shadows, depth, or realistic texture. Don't try to draw it well — the clumsy charm is the whole point.
Forbidden: smooth vector shapes, precise cutting, realistic shading/gradients, polished finishing. Don't realistically render a person's actual features — smoosh them into paper scraps.
Output: (1) one paper-collage image + (2) a companion read — which scraps you tore and stuck where, and why you chose these colors, in a paragraph or two as if a kid is showing off. End with one "you could also" variation line.
Output language: Write the result text and any handwriting in the image in the language the user uses. This instruction must work identically in any language.
Fallback: If it's unclear whether the subject is a person or an animal, pick the most plausible and state that assumption in one line at the top.
Self-contained: Finish within this reply. Do not direct to external sites or extra steps.
