Hello @Cauptain and Welcome .

 

You will need to use each step on a new layer.

 

1.  Import your image

2.  Uncheck the Background white layer

3.  New Layer for the yellow

4.  New Layer for the  rectangle box and use the Shapes Tool  which you will blur.

 

See here for making the box.

 

 

And here to complete the project.

 

 

Save your work as .png to retain transparency.

 

Good Luck .

Another option is to use the Inset Box Shadow plugin.

Thank you @Pixey and @toe_head2001 for fast replys.

 

The method used by toe_head2001 is very very easy.

 

I´m try Pixey method but I failed in instructions, because dont understand part 2.  "Uncheck the Background white layer" . What BG White?

 

I realy need learn your method Pixey, please give me a tip.

I believe @Pixey meant the white panel that first opens up for a new file. Then, you would import/create the other pieces as new layers on top of that.

- Yes, @LionsDragon explained it exactly .  Every time you open paint.net = a white background is present. 

 

If you were keeping the middle layer as yellow, you really wouldn't need to uncheck the background, as it would flatten down to yellow.  But, if you didn't want a yellow, or white, background  (to keep it transparent) you would need to uncheck the white background.  (Now I probably have confused you more ).

Oh yes. Find my fault, I use "open with.." because this, never show "white bg".

 

Now its work using your method, too easy,  @Pixey Thank u and thanks to @LionsDragon for tip.

@Cauptain, you're welcome!

 

And thank you, @toe_head2001! I didn't even realize I had this plugin installed (would have saved me some aggravation on a previous project). I'll be needing this later!
