You can use something as simple as Microsoft Paint. Make what you want, save as a .png and import to your project. Add chroma keyer effect and use the eye dropper to key out white, and put it on the layer above your main subject. It works pretty good for the price :) There of course is the industry standard Photoshop, but that can be a little intimidating if you aren't familar with it. Let us know. Cin

If you have Microsoft Office (doesn't everyone)..... you can do the same with PowerPoint. You'll get better results if you change the background from white to green (0,255,0)

Uh,.............no. :(
Sounded like a casual user, but there is always gimp.org (pretty advanced), or paint.net (fairly easy to learn). Cin

I use GIMP for my image creations. It's an open-source (free) alternative to Photoshop and while it can get complicated to learn, you will at least be able to create anything on a transparent background without having to learn how to use the program first.
