Hi. I only recently got PSP7 so there's lots I have to learn. I've already made a few icons but they were horribly simple, so I'm looking to jazz up my style a bit more. What I'd like is for someone to explain how I can make icons similar to these, in as simple step-by-step terms as possible. I've looekd through memories but there's nothing specific enough, or, at least, I don't think there is.

I really want to learn how to get those little squares...I think it's a really cool effect.

And I love the style of this one...how is it done? I know a tiny bit about layers, but not enough to make anything like this.

Thanks to whoever answers this and I apologise if either of these tips have been addressed before.
