New Hypno Kitty Logo

I've been playing around with a new logo today. I am learning to use Photoshop. It's frustrating because I'm used to paint shop pro.  For example, I couldn't find how to make a negative image so I had to look up a tutorial.  That's because on Photoshop it's called 'Invert' not 'Negative'. Anyway here are some of my attempts today. I also can't figure out how to meld two photos together to make a banner. So much to learn, so little time.
