Counting Points

I'm going to be running Golden Sky Stories at Virtuacon. The game (in which shapeshifting animals help people deal with their problems) does not use dice at all but has several different forms of point economy. Players collect points for various things and spend them for their characters to do things themselves (like take human form, use supernatural powers, and make attribute checks). There are three different point pools (Wonder, Feelings, and Dreams, which gives you an idea what the game is about) and people are gaining and using all three all the time. There are no set pool sizes, especially for Dreams which are expected to flow freely throughout the game when players do things. So while I don't need the die roller, I do need a way in roll20 to make it easy for players and GM alike to track all three totals so they know what actions they can attempt. I am very new to Roll20 and have certainly never GMd before. How would others accomplish this?
Use the three bubbles above the tokens for the purpose. If you need even more you could use two tokens instead of just one.
One related question on tokens is whether you can import your own art for use as tokens o whether you're stuck with the library. The game in question is very niche and it is highly unlikely that any of the token images that are useful for it will be useful for any other game on the Roll2-0 system. I should have plenty of time to sort this out, and hopefully I will soon be somewhat less clueless than I am now.
