i have adobe illustrator 9.0 and paint shop pro 7.. how can i use those programs to make custom dials, the tops of them, and the stat part, please help, thanks,

Check out my site here:

I've got the templates for both the stats sticker and the dialtop. You'll also need the icons.zip file which contains all of the team ability symbols. Just unzip them into your working directory, and don't forget to immediately click "Save As..." and give it a new file name for each new dial, so you don't overwrite the original. You'll basically have to make each layer of the dial visible and active to edit it, then use the paint bucket tool to fill in the appropriate power colors and delete the parts you don't use.

Hope this helps!
