[Cutting & Pasting pics.. getting invisable/clear backgrounds]

Im trying to make "sigs" for a hockey fourm but whne i cut/paste a player using the "lasso select" tool ( tell me if thats right to use ) it pastes but it turns out with the checkerd board stuff, i want it so it blends in to the background i ahve

example

vancouver canucks banner

checkerdboard

ovechkin - checkerdboard nucks logo- regular background

checkerdboard

... get what i mean..? its all cut out sloppy and i want it to blend in, make the cut out background insivable/clear.

\thanks!
