What the 'Claw said.

  1. Get a copy of the Bodysuit templates
  2. Fire up Photoshop (Gimp, PSP what ever graphics app you use that has layers)
  3. Load up the template
    4) Color as needed.
  4. NEW LAYER (or NEW IMAGE, but keep the image with your colors and the template open if you can)
    6A - New Layer:  Draw your new insignia, ERASE where you want it transparent
    6B - New Image: Draw your insignia and ERASE where ever it should be transparent. Take out the background, and keep just your image/insignia. When done, drag/insert/transfer into where you've colored the template.
  5.  Scale and/or Transform the insignia layer to where you want it to go.

Some folks flatten the layers at this point. I use Photoshop and learned this cool "trick". Move to the top most layer, press/holding SHIFT+CONTROL+ALT+E. This makes a brand new layer that is combined of all active layers beneath it WITHOUT compressing all of the layers beneath it. (Great for tweaking a layer later)

SAVE the FILE (with all of the layers intact - in my case with a newfilename.PSD), then save out the top layer (the combined one) as a .JPG (.GIF,  .TGA whatever) and use that for the bodysuit.

Hope this helps.
