Ok I like to make avatars and have been seeing them everywhere with those cool boders like on http://designs.enchanted-dreamz.com Go to her buttons and stuff. I was wondering how I might go about doing that? I really think it's cool, and how about those little hearts and stars they use? I know this has probably been asked a million times, so sorry.

Sorry for the double posting but since it won't let me edit my post for some reason I have to correct the link here. http://www.enchanted-dreamz.com/designs

Well they are simply built up in a graphics app.

From what I can see they've taken an anime image, put it onto the button layout, and laid some lines/graphic elements over the top.

The hearts for example are a standard custom shape in Photoshop.

They're really nice but fairly simple to make, if I've got time I'll write up a tutorial for you :0)

That would be awsome if you would write a tutorial. And if anyone knows anywhere else I can get some ideas please post 'em!

Edit: I have Photoshop and Paintshop Pro.
