Polar, thanks for explaining. I'm clearly a novice and learning -- slowly, painfully -- as I go. As a sole proprietory, I wear so many hats, so sweat equity, at least so far, has allowed us to be profitable. I'm also grateful that we have taken no loans or advances from retirement or anything like that, so we're in a good, strong cash situation.

To answer your post, I looked at some masking vids on YT last night, but I'm still left with my main concern. How do I take the image above, with a transparent background, and add the mother-of-pearl design to replace the lime green. Perhaps the better question is: How do I take the Shamrock with the mother-of-pearl and black background and remove that black background and make it transparent.

I'm not embarrassed by my lack of knowledge; I'm only concerned that it's frustrating on your end to deal with someone at my low skill level. I think part of it for me is also my learning style and aptitude. I'm an English professor, so I'm very text-driven, and I suspect I have trouble with understanding spatial and image-driven learning, if that makes sense.

Thanks So Much,
