Or
Make a new raster layer, create a gradient that will be compliment to your tag, flood fill, deselect, delete the template layer.

Repeat the above step for Circles 3,2, and 1. Once you’re done, if you want to animate your tag, then go back and highlight Circle 3 layer. Duplicate 2 times for a total of 3. Rename them Circle 3a, 3b, 3c. Highlight Circle 3a and apply DSB Flux/Bright Noise with the following setting:
