icon_wink.gif Yes, I know, many posts today...finishing touches you know..So here I sit in my jammies trying to do what I was thinking (HA) should be a simple thing: I just want to take two images and combine them (although that may be the incorrect terminology) so that a spade image (12x12) sits on top of a heart image (16x16). Well, I was so wrong!!

Here is what I was doing: I was using paint shop pro (from here) and I brought the two images in, resized them, then tried to get the spade on top of the heart; Although I could do that, and even though I had both backgrounds transparent, it would still show the original resized spade as a square.

So, I have no idea how to get done what I thought was to be a simple operation..... badgrin.gif Anyone have any ideas? icon_razz.gif

Of course, this could all be in vain if I have gone through all of this for a myleague page and then not be able to actually have it display in the ie bar icon_evil.gif

So, once again, this is the site [ Register or login to view links on this board.] and as always thanks to you all for taking the time. booty.gif

I found 16x16 so small so i kept the heart size (40x40). You can always resize laters if needed.

I first copied to heart and the spade into a psp file so i could make the background transparent, and then i copied the spade into the heart.

icon_biggrin.gif Wow that is really great! I wish that when I went to do the same thing you did I could have actually have done it.

I truly appreciate you being able to do this so now I will ask if you could do me a quick favor with this: I should have asked you this to begin with so please forgive me as I am not trying to appear ungrateful - could you please possibly offset the spade to the right? You can slap me if you would like. As I said, I should have stated that that is what I was trying to do to begin with. The offset will show more of the heart (you know, league name "heart of spades").

Thanks Much and you can still slap me if you wish..... icon_razz.gif
