Is there an easier method than using layers? That's what I've been using so far, but with around 10 pieces to each image, the process can take up a lot of time. (Sorry if I sound lazy )

Hi, I'm trying to piece together an image composed of multiple parts, and I feel like I can save a lot of time on the piecing together process than what I'm doing now. The parts have transparency, and are on a transparent background, but when I try to overlap them to complete the image, the transparency acts as a color, and covers parts of the image. (see image below) Putting the various pieces on multiple layers has been working for the time being, but it has become very time consuming. Is there a feature that works similar to microsoft paint's transparent selection, where the secondary color (or in this case, a transparent background) is actually transparent? I feel like I'm missing something blatantly obvious... Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
