Flip Horizontal and place at the upper right side. Add Drop Shadow,
Opacity 40%. On it place Element #168, shadow. At the bottom of it

If you do want to animate it, then keep reading.


Animation:
First you open animation .PSD file. Turn off all layers but the last one.
Then rename layers from the last one to the first one with 1, 2, 3... ect
Select all layers and group them. Now just move the group under the tube
layer. Resize it if needed and place where ever you want on the tag.
Now click on the Window > Timeline > Create Frame Animation.
Then duplicate frame to have 24 frames in total. Number of frames should
match the layers number in the ani group. Timeline frame #1 should have
animation layer #1. Click on the frame #2 and uncheck ani layer #1 and check
layer #2. And so on till #24. So every timeline frame number should have
matching animation layer number. For every frame set time delay to 0 sec.
Then set animation to repet forever. To save it click on the 'Save for Web...'
and don't change settings there, just save it. Don't forget to save .PSD file
as well. You can just click on the name on your tag to change it and save again.
