The following steps I have used are the way I know how to do this and it works for me. There is probably an easier way to get text around the image and if so and you know how please use those instructions. But this is what works for me.

41. In the top color pallette change the color to white. 42. Click on the preset shape of your butterfly. With the same setting except click on vector. Draw the butterfly once an again. 43. Click on the Text Tool. Move the text tool to the center link inside your vector till you see the letter A. When you see this click on the butterfly image. See below:

44. The text pop up window will now appear. Select a font, small size, and color you want. Now this part is the boring part keep typing over and over what you want I typed the word butterflies and I spaced it 3 times between each word. When you see the word around the whole white butterfly image stop typing. I know you will see a lot of garbage in the middle don't worry we will get rid of that.
45. Click ok on text pop up window.
46. Right click on the image a question will appear if you want to defloat to the nearest layer. Answer yes. You will see marching ants every where.
47. Now click on the delete key on the keyboard. You will see the white butterfly image disappear.
48. Go to the Layer Pallette and click on the eye glasses on the layer your had completed of the butterfly and all the tubes. You don't want to see this layer all you want to see is the transparent background and all those letters.
49. Click on the Eraser Tool erase all that garbage in the middle till you just see what you want on the outside of your tag. After I did this I click on the layer with the Magic Wand to get marching ants every where so you can see what needs to be deleted.
50. Go to Selections>Invert.
51. Click delete key on keyboard and all the things you don't want there will be clean. All you should have is the word of Butterflies where you want.
52. Deselect the marching ants. Selections>None.
53. Go to Layer Pallette and click on the red x to make image show up again.
54. Click on Deformation Tool and holding down the shift key move the little boxes around the edge of your image till the word butterflies is where you want it.
55. Go to Layers>Merge Visible.
56. Click on magic wand and click on the transparent part of image.
57. Go to Selections>Invert.
58. Go to Image>Crop To Selection.
59. At this time if you want to add or do anything else to your tag do so now.
60. Go to Layers>Merge All Flattened.
61. Go to Image>Resize. Make sure the pixel section is checked and make sure there is no number larger than 300x300 in the boxes. Make sure the last two statements at the bottom have a check mark. Click ok.
