How to filter a GPO to a particular Active Directory group

I have created two new groups called "Users needing Blue 1 Desktop Wallpaper" and "Users needing Orange 2 Desktop Wallpaper". Recall that we already have GPOs that are assigning these graphics to people's desktops, and we have done some creative linking in order to get those GPO settings to apply to certain users as they log in to their workstations.
