I'm not a professional, and I'm a bit of a newbie to making signatures but I hope this helps.
I made mine using Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor, you can download a free 30 day trial from the Adobe website.

I then went hunting for HD screencaps/screenshots of Sleeping Beauty. I eventually came across a website that had more or less every screen from every Disney movie screenshot.

Simply find your favourite movie and your favourite screen and save the image to your computer, then open it in Photoshop. I then went onto Pinpics and saved the photos of each pin to my computer. In order to get rid of the white backgrounds I opened the picture in Photoshop, [it automatically opens as a new tab]. I used the quick select tool to get rid of all the whiteness around the picture. Once I had selected the desired area of the picture, I copied and pasted it onto screenshot and moved it using the 'move tool' around the screenshot until I found the desired area. To add the text, I simply opened the text box and copied the pin number from pinpics. However, if you want a more unusual font, I suggest using http://www.dafont.com/, there's tons of free fonts that you can download and install into your computer. I used fonts from this site for my signature.
When you're finished, select the 'File' then 'Save for web'. You can then resize the signature if necessary but I kept mine at it's original size. Once you have it saved to your computer, you can upload it to Flickr or Photobucket [or really any photo sharing site] and then upload it as your signature here.
If you have any questions then I'm more than willing to help if I can. I hope this helps at least a little.

I used photoshop CS 5.5, underneath the upload button it says there's a maximum size of 125kb or does this not matter?
thanks for your help
I don't actually upload mine. In the box above the signature picture area, I hit the 'insert image' button and then put the link in. It's never failed me yet, and it seems to take an image of any size.
Hopefully this works for you now.
