Re: Transparency in images

Charles,

That's actually the challenge I wanted to present the designer. Make an
ornament that would function on all backgrounds. Function wouldn't have to
mean look the same, but it would mean "is a visible section break," and so
at least would require both white and black elements. But that only makes
sense as a thing to play around with if transparency works.
