I’ve been waiting for this ever since the release of Leopard, with its new 512-pixel recycled folders: Telling Folders lets you customize folders by integrating any kind of images or icons on top of them (and it looks nice more easily than with previous versions of OS X, because the folders face the screen now).

Functionality is limited (you can’t move or resize the overlaid image — and it’s a bit small — and so far they’re missing the opportunity to also allow colorizing the folder icons) but the resulting icons look nice, and the application is free.
