You can easily make pip objects, such as overlays, using Elements, or Picasa, Paint.net, etc. Any program that supports png files.
Join the Directorzone, it's free of course, and find hundreds of extra goodies like that. Watch this brief video on making a png file, ignore the politics of the instructor (me)!
Apply the lesson to your image. Very easy.
Perhaps like this...
1. Create a black file 320x180, any format.
2. Select all of the black file>cut>paste into an empty transparent png of the same size.
3. Use tools to cutout 2 intersecting circles. After you cut them, they will reveal the transparent background.
4. Surprise! You have a binocular sight file, in png, you can add to your library.
You could also google an image of binocular sights, and possibly key out any section you don't want.
However, if you make your own pip image, it can be brought into PD7 and become part of your permanent library.
