For my first graphics pack, I downloaded a favorite pack and studied the entries in the three .pngs it had.  The initial problems were as follows.
#1) The rows and columns start at 0, not 1.  The third creature on the second row has a position of 2:1, not 3:2
#2) Make sure the page dimensions are set properly, or else creatures will be stretched or squished, with other parts in the tile.  Rather ugly and unusable at the lower regions.  PAGE_DIM must be done as [# of Columns:# of Rows
Other than that, best advice I can give is experiment a bit, test a graphic and see how it works.
