Orange icon(using photoshop)

1. Create a new 150 x 150 pixel canvas with a white background.

2. Next, click on your custom shape tool (U). Click on the circle icon. Using your circle tool, draw out an orange circle. The color I’ve used was (#FFAE00)

3. Now we need to add a border around the orange. Click on Layer > Layer Styles > Stroke… (This can be found on top of your Photoshop window). Once the Layer Style window pops up, fill in the following information to your stroke properties:
- Size: 10 px
- Position: Outside
- Blend Mode: Normal
- Opacity: 100%
- Fill Type: Color
- Color: Dark Orange (#FF7800)

4. On your tool bar, click the pen tool (). Draw out an upside down tear drop like what I have below:

5. Working on the same layer, click Layer > Layer Style > Gradient Overlay… add in the following properties to your gradient overlay:
- Blend Mode: Normal
- Opacity: 100%

6. We are still working in the same layer again. You need to duplicate this shape 7 times. To duplicate, right click on the layer, then select duplicate layer.

7. After you’ve duplicated your shape, using your transform tool (edit > transform > ) then transform your duplicated shape, horizontal, verticle, rotate 90 degrees etc untill all of your shapes fill the orange.

8. You can also use different colors instead of orange to create a lime or lemon
