Alexis Bledel icon tutorial

[mooniepoo]

Sweet! Another icon tutorial. ;D But it's not as good as the other ones. At least...yeah. Oh well. I'll pull out some better ones soon, don't you worry!
And this is Alexis Bledel, AGAIN. I'm starting to think that I'm getting over my BoA obsession. Which is, a good thing.
I don't have any 'other examples' for this one. *lazylazySHOT*
So yeah.
Hope you enjoy~
