Is there something to set the layers at so you have some idea of how the colors will overlap in the actual print, like in the top corner here? I'm just starting to poke at screen printing and I've only done single color things to help someone out with a t-shirt order, but I like the idea of seeing what might happen with the color overlaps.

There's nothing you can do to get predictable results on the computer than I know of.
This is just an "estimate" of what I am working toward. I am working in Adobe Illustrator, and with the CS3 version and up, there are transparency filters you can apply to each shape in the design (not just the layers). In the end though, I'll still just have to mix inks, transparent mediums, and dab a few swatches of color to figure out what I will get. The 'green' will be easy to get from the blue and yellow. The purple... might be impossible with my meager skill level.

Good to know, I'll just play with things and if I ever get to print call it experiments.
I'm even more excited to see how this turns out when it's printed now though.
