Thank you so much for the guidence :-)

I used PNG transparency to get it out correctly and scaled it to the 
right size so that that for the "Player 2" start button I can hopefully 
figure out a way to get a second one in there (Maybe do another image 
map but with another figure side by side).

Thanks a bunch, you've been more than just helpful :-D
