a sprite and a Dirtmap node. Plug the Dirtmap node into the Sprite node "input"
slot, plug the image node into the Sprite node "matte" slot and turn on
"enablle matte" in the Sprite's PPG. Plug the Sprite node into the Material node
"Surface" slot. Leave the original material node linked to the Shadow and
Photon slots.
