 Duplicate that line and place below the first one , duplicate once more and place below that one .

Select your text tool and when the T has a curve write out SCAREDY CAT . Move the font where you would like
I moved mine down a little to make it fit between the frames .

 Hide the ellipse circle and convert to Raster layer
