Quite a few people have asked this and the overall opinion is that it
can't be done via AppleScript, at least not without an osax or an
application - if there is one out there that gives this type of
functionality. That example application that you mentioned is not
scriptable so you would have to either turn the example code into an
osax or add scriptability to it.
The standard way to get around this limitation is to hand-create a
folder with the image already on it, store it somewhere, and then
duplicate it whenever you need another folder with that image on it.
It's kind of like making templates out of folders.
