Heh. Here's a slightly unorthodox and mildly embarrassing question.
I made this icon a few weeks ago.

I did it in PSP 8, I can tell you that much, and I'm also pretty sure I used a dark blue flood filled layer at one stage.
But how did I do it? I can't remember. I've only got it saved as a single-layer PNG and, try as I might, I *cannot* replicate the effect; it's driving me insane. Does anybody have any idea how I might have done it in the first place? I'm pretty much a beginner so it's all monkey-banging-at-keyboard stuff, really, which is why I haven't got a clue how I achieved it originally.
I can probably re-cap the original image I used to illustrate the changes if it'd help shed any light, but I can't find that just at the moment either. *headdesk*
Thank youuuuuu.
