I use Photoshop for that, primarily because its very flexible and its 
easy to see what the label is going to look like when printed. Just 
scan in an image of the template that comes with the labels, and use as 
the top layer in your Photoshop document. Select the area that peels 
off (the doughnut shape that is the label) and cut that out so you're 
looking through the top layer at text and images below. Then throw 
whatever text or images you want into the layout. Its sometimes 
convenient to turn off the top layer when you're working, and then turn 
it back on to check the layout. Be sure to turn the top layer off 
before printing, because you don't want the guide lines on your final 
output. Of course, that's not going to help much if you don't have 
Photoshop.
