NEW RIDDLE:

My name comes from French.
I was invented by a Spaniard.
You probably associate me with newspapers and magazines.

That's actually a great guess. But it's something more creative.

Nope. Piñatas originated both in China and Mexico.
This is a word that, though you hear often enough, is French.

You are getting very close. But not paper mache, something usually flatter.
Nowadays, it can be made digitally, while paper mache can't.

Yes!
The word means "to glue" in French.
It was invented by Pablo Picasso (a Spaniard), which I didn't know until I looked up facts about collages.
