If you are not animating,
you can save the tag here &
will not need a white background on it.
If you are animating, continue and merge visible.

In Animation shop, open animation of choice.

I changed the color of the animation I am using.
To do this, click on your animation -
Edit select all. Animation - replace a color.
Select the color you are replacing in the animation. On the 2nd box,

choose a color from your tag
to replace the color.Tolerance is 20.

Copy your tag as copy merged. Now go to Animation shop
and paste as a new animation.
Duplicate for the required number of frames
as your animation has.

For the animation I am using, it has 16
frames. This means I have to duplicate
the tag image for a total of 16 frames.
To duplicate, hold down Ctrl and repeatedly
press the L button.
Down on the bottom right corner of AS,
it will show how many frames you have.

Once you have all the frames needed,
edit - select all.
Now on your animation, select all - copy.
Drag onto your tag image.
Select all - view animation.
If happy, save as gif.
