Usually I can do my own wallpapers but I want something that I cannot figure out how to do (and as I cant sit at my desktop for any length of time due to my surgery; I can play with photoshop).
Could someone clever make the holes type wallpaper from the leopard print (so its a leopard print with the sunken app icon placeholders)>?
Thanks

not exactly the same; but pretty close.
hope your recovery goes quickly.
as to how the image was done.
1) I did a google search for iPhone 5 home screen so that I could get the proper icon spacing (I've only got an iPhone 4 so I needed the extra space).
2) I duplicated some of the icons so that all 5 rows were full.
3) I made a careful selection around just the icons then deleted the background.
4) with that done, I now have a template which can be used to make the indentations. (see attached file)
5) I used google image search to find a higher resolution copy of the cheetah pattern that you used since yours was only 900 pixels high and iPhone 5 resolution is 640 x 1136. Your image would work fine, but I like to use the highest quality images I can find so I don't have to scale them up and introduce artifacts.
6) I cropped the hi-res cheetah pattern down to 640 x 1136
7) with the cheetah pattern as the background layer, I then copied my icon template as a new layer above the background layer.
8) make a selection of the icons by highlighting the icon layer then holding down the command key (yes, I'm a mac user as well) and click on the icon layer in the layers palette.
9) expand the selection by 10 pixels to make the holes larger by choosing "expand..." under the Select menu
10) turn off the icons layer. the selection should remain active.
11) make the cheetah pattern the active layer then press command+j to copy part of the cheetah pattern to a new layer
12) select the new layer that was just created then add a drop down bevel using the layer effects palette. I used a setting of 10 pixels for the drop down and a light source angle of 60 degrees.
13) add an inner shadow with similar settings as those above
14) merge your layers and save in the image format of your choice.
easy peasy

check my post above. I edited it since you had asked how to do the effect yourself.
