Start with an image of something that suits your site.
I have used a lavender embroidered flower from this site that offers machine embroidery work at reasonable prices. The site is also built with CSB and is growing so please visit to support other CSB users!

Then tweak it by stretching, shrinking, beveling, adding text, etc to create images that represent your ideas.
Any Photo program will do. The two I use most often for this work are Paint Shop Pro and Irfanview.
Below are just a few of the things you can do with the lavender flower. You could put text on the flower, around the flower, etc. Let your imagination and your own site dictate how you create your link images.

Use Insert > Picture > Image/Clipart and choose your button images.
Right click the image, properties, image to type in a description that hovers over the image on mouseover (more details on the image tooltip here).
Right click an image and choose to link to one of your pages either by SELECTION on the map or by URL style link. The five button samples above have been linked to the home page of the site that embroidered the original design using the URL style link.
All 7 buttons above are JPG images placed into a table with a background color to match, but they could have easily been made into GIF images with a transparent background to be placed on ANY color background. Take a look at this page for information on transparent gif images.
