Sorry for repeating myself over and over but...

Upload it to somewhere like www.tinypic.com and copy the IMG code it gives you. Then paste it into your post and there you go

How do you get your image to sparkle?

 

[Pirate Me]

Can you use just regular Paint for that?

So, I right click the color at the bottom of the screen.

After you color the background, go to your OTHER Paint window (the one with the cool background you picked). On the color selection screen, RIGHT-click the SAME color as the one you used in your background for your picture. Then copy the picture (in this case, Figaro), and paste it on your screen with the background. This was just so the white on the picture didn't show the background through it.

I just right click the same picture that I had at the bottom, copy it in, and this is what I get (Shown in an animation)

What am I doing wrong? (The pink screen is before, and the PSU is after)
I can give full screenshots of all of my steps if you would like.

On the background screen, go to your color selection and right click the bright green that is in the PSU picture. Then copy the PSU picture and paste it into your background picture. Make sure on the background screen that after you paste the PSU picture, you leave the select box around it and select the transparency button, which looks like this:

Good luck!

THAT'S MY MISTAKE! Thanks. I forgot to click the box with the clear or white.
