This is a really easy effect that takes only around two minutes to complete.
Choose an image you'd like to shape. Usually one that has a central character or object you'd like to focus on. I am using this one:

Open that up into paint. Open a second window also, of the same size as your image. (You can find this out by going to image >>> attributes.)
Keeping your first image in mind, use the oval tool (with the filled third setting) to draw out a shape for your "shaped image". You should use a color that really sticks out. This is the image I made:

When you are done making this shape, copy it, and paste it onto your original image. Make sure your background color is set to the color of your shape and that opacity is unchecked. Crop, and viola!
