I use a program from paint.net that replaces Microsoft paint with one that has some Photoshop features. Anyway,here's one I did;

I used the tools window to make slighly rectangular squares,one inside the other. Then painted (filled in) colors between them. I inserted a pic of a cougar,then painted around that. Just zoomed in some 600-800% to paint it. Then go back to normal size,& it looks good.
You can pick text style & size,then grab & move it to where you want it. I left the name.BOD,& Ale fields blank so as to add them later for a particular beer. Hope this helps some.
