Am I improving?

I've always like making graphics and making petzy things look pretty. I've been trying my best to learn GIMP...and here is one of my most recent products!



...compared to...

(Only one I have on hand at the moment, also made with GIMP).

I know my previous ones weren't horrible, lol, but I think I'm getting a bit better (if anyone who requested a graphic from me before in my graphic service here, I am willing to re-do by PM [no hard feeling either! ^^;]. My graphic service is open here at Petz Culture still as well.

Looks great:) It shows off your individual style:) I was wondering what it would look like without the black border?

Thank you!

Here it is w/o the border!



EDIT: (And this one I made)



I don't know how to resize it though so the transparency is seamless with the edges of the graphic...:/ No matter what I was doing to try and do that it would make it look weird. I tried making the graphic a certain size (preferably 500x75), but then the petz would be cut off inside of the background...hmm...I'm kinda stuck...any suggestions?
