I think the circle is a rectangular image of a colour on a transparent
background made itself transparent in the image/properties/opacity
slider.
the drop shadow on the blackboard I think is part of the artwork again
on a transparent gif but I didn't get that to work , shadow went
solid. shouldn't be difficult.
