Paste a image into another

Hi, I'm trying to use the function paste() to paste a image into another image but I can't get it work! Is it the right function to use or is there any other function that's better?

Here's my very simple code:
[CODE=python]
from PIL import Image
import ImageDraw

im = Image.new("RGB" , (500,500), "white")
draw = ImageDraw.Draw( im)

icon = Image.open("ico n1.jpg")
im.paste(icon, (0,0,86,62))

del draw
im.save("test.j pg", "JPEG")[/CODE]

and the message:

Code:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Program Files\Eclipse 3.2.2\plugins\org.python.pydev.debug_1.3.4\pysrc\pydevd.py", line 754, in <module>
    debugger.run(setup['file'], None, None)
  File "C:\Program Files\Eclipse 3.2.2\plugins\org.python.pydev.debug_1.3.4\pysrc\pydevd.py", line 597, in run
    execfile(file, globals, locals) #execute the script
  File "C:\Documents and Settings\eviceng\My Documents\Python\cellTestare\src\paste.py", line 8, in <module>
    im.paste(icon, (0,0,86,62))
  File "C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\PIL\Image.py", line 1076, in paste
    self.im.paste(im, box)
ValueError: images do not match

I got this from the PIL website:

Code:

im.paste(image, box)

Pastes another image into this image. The box argument is either a 2-tuple giving the upper left corner, a 4-tuple defining the left, upper, right, and lower pixel coordinate, or None (same as (0, 0)). [B]If a 4-tuple is given, the size of the pasted image must match the size of the region.[/B]

So either give a 2-tuple or make the coordinates match icon.jpg's.
