Create an RSS feed icon/button (part 3)

In the second of my tutorials on creating RSS feed icons, I will show you how to create this:

1. Firstly, as last time download this image by right clicking and choosing the Save Image As… (or something similar) option:
   
2. Create a new image with 125px x 125px dimensions
3. Now select the Open As Layers option on the File menu and find the RSS feed icon you just saved
4. Select the transform tool (shortcut: “Shift and P”), and click and drag the edges to make a shape like this:
   
5. Click the Transform button, it should now look something like this:
   
6. Duplicate the layer, select the second of the two rss layers and move the layer to the right by 8 pixels and below by 8 pixels and press Ctrl and A to select the layer, press Ctrl and X to cut the layer content and paste it back in using Ctrl and V.
7. Set the fore colour to #ff4b2f and press Ctrl and comma (,) to fill the selection with the colour.
8. It should look something like this:
   
9. Duplicate this layer so that it adds more colour
10. Create a new layer under the top layer and draw the following with the path tool
    
11. Fill it with the foreground colour, and do a similar thing with the top right:
    
12. And there you have it, the final result:
    
13. Now to add the drop shadow select the penultimate layer and create a drop shadow by clicking Drop Shadow from the Light and Shadows menu on the Filters menu. Set the offsets to 0 and click OK. And there you have it, finished.
