"Invisible" JPEG Backgrounds?!

Hey guys, does anyone know how I might be able to make the white "canvas" from a JPEG image "inviusible", so that all you can see is the yellow background of my site? Just scroll to the bottom of the link I posted to see what I mean (I don't know how or why the snake is the way I want it, but it was like that when I saved it!).

Basically, I wanna' do to the pic. of the gerber daisy what was done to my snake image, so...I simply found a pic. on-line and used Adobe PhotoDeluxe to cut out the flower-head and save it, not realizing that it'd save a white background with it!

jpg? No. But you can with .gif images. Something like this. With a .jpg image you would have to set the color to the same as your page, which can be more complicated than it sounds.

Thanks! Say, could you explain to me how I can ommit the background (making it "invisible") by using GIF, please, so I can do it when necessary in the fututre?

Thank you so much!

Take Care,
Wade

You can make the background of a gif "transparent". How depends on what graphics software you are using but unless you are using shareware you should have a full help file available.
