Need assistance..

This is probably not the place to ask this, but I thought I remembered it being addressed here previously. However, I've been through the past few months of posts (and learned quite a few techniques in the process :), but I couldn't find what I was looking for.

How does one make an icon like this one? I see them all over LJ now and was wondering: is it a website? Sorry for asking here, but no one on my flist knows and this is the only icon community I belong to.



Thanks!
