I know you can easily create this effect with techsmith's Snagit application

I even believe Microsoft word has a similar effect.

but I don't know of a easy way less then a plugin to create this effect

    I've used snagit to great effect before for this and been very satisfied.

  • That's a very cool tool, I've been using WinSnap, I may have to defect. Thanks.

The last time I did something like this (in Corel Photopaint), I actually scanned in a piece of torn paper and used it as the background with a little edge enhancement and shadowing.
