Sorry.. I didn't answer this the first time.. I had meant to .

The original problem was the background transparency of the whole image, being square, while the graphic has rounded edges caused the background color to show through the corners and a small slit along the border area. I added another black layer under it and just cut out/transparent just the area that needed to be (the triangles/thumbs).

Still haven't messed with the design.. got busy this weekend.
