[edit] here is what i made in elements.. it didnt turn out quite right. they take out too many features ------------------ ~~~boogie woogie woogie~~~ [This message has been edited by bwoogie (edited February 13, 2007).]

It wants to be somewhat transparent, but make a gradient: White on the top, and the yellow-blue color on the bottom. I think the problem is you just plopped the yellowy onto the circle, without making a gradient. ------------------ A n00b is an annoying person who enjoys being destructive.
