PP Round Thumbnail Overlay v1.2

I've added this to a number of my sites, and thought I'd share it with members here. It's been a long time since I contributed back to this community so I wanted to start with this.

What does it do?
Basically this creates a round overlay box around all tumbnail images in your vbulletin intergreated & photopost vbgallery. I'll be working on a number of upgrades to this template hack.
