You've got your team name - that's a layer. If you're going to try to make your team name circle around the emu, duplicate the layer and try it with the copy. That way, even if you get several steps into it so you don't know how many "undo"s to do, you can still get back to the original.

Excellent excellent advice that I had to learn the hard way!
Another thing that's been a challenge for me is to get colors that mesh well together. There are some websites out there that can give you help on selecting good contrasting and complementing colors if you have a color that you want to start with. Google search 'online color selection tool' and I think you'll find some options.
