Could someone please assist with guiding me in the right direction? If I posted this in the wrong forum, please tell me what would be the appropriate forum to post this in. Thanks!

I have been playing around with Paint.Net for a few days now and I must thank the creators for a truly great product! That being said, I am still a newbie and inspite of having gone through some of the tutorials, I can't figure out how to replicate the effect (colors/gradients and the frosted effect) in the attached logo in another object (say a circle or a letter of the alphabet). I would appreciate a little guidance from the experts out there. Thanks!
