Not a problem, The problem with your blue image is with the anti-aliasing on the transparency mask. You need to eliminate anti-aliasing in the mask. the easiest way to do this is to create the mask with as clean lines as you can make. Also you may want to avoid using a JPG file format. The compression algorithm usually causes artifacts like what you are seeing. Try a BMP, TIF, or GIF with only 2 colors. The last is probably your best bet as the GIF compression makes for smaller file sizes and the two color motif allows you to be VERY selective on your transparency.
