Thanks for the tips here sadly I don't know how to give the illusion of transparency, I have difficulty making my creations "stand out" I do try but, just can't seem to add the "wow factor" that so many people on here can manage to do (so easily) For the record, this image was meant to be transparent, but ended up blandsparent instead. I will (I am sure) get there in the end and manage to post gallery worthy images, but for what ever reason most of my creations are dull.
