Apply a drop shadow to your circle layer using these settings

New Layer
set your forground to black, and the background set to pattern, select the zebra style animal porint pattern.
type out your name ( or desired text) in font of your choice, ( I used 911 Porche) size 72.
Now colourize this text to match your tube ( Adust > Hue & Saturation > Colourise )
Now staying on this layer, got to Muras copies again, same settings as before, but lower the Number from 10, down to 5.

Click on Font to select your font and size - ive used the porche font again, sized at 22
then click on the customise button and alter the number, the higher the number, the lower down the tag the text will appear - mine was set to 420 so it sat between the tube and my name, just play with that section til you are happy with it.
Now just name and save as a GIF file!
You can experiment and personalise this tag further by adding blings, or sparkles, as I have done here:
