Lighting effect?

[omnivore]

I think this one should be fairly easy for those of you are who are intermediate to advanced stage makers (I'm still a novice), but I can't seem to find the information I am looking for.

Basically I am making another stage from an existing background in a (non-fighting) game. The background is completely static.

But... There are some candles in the image. I would like to create what is basically an animated glowing and subtly flickering lighting effect at the candles. I have searched some, and I have had some difficulty finding a tutorial on this.

I am going to assume that this is done with some opaque animations that are very light in color, and they are just added like any other animation.

Can someone supply me with a resource for the images (as that I am sure some usable ones already exist) for this type of lighting I am looking for, or a good tutorial for this?
