Making white sections of a picture (used in a report) transparent.

I've got a YES/NO section of a report I'm making. Depending on certain
values, I want to circle either YES or NO. I've got the code working so
it'll show or hide the circle, but I can't seem to get the circle
(which I drew in Adobe Photoshop because I want the handwriting look)
to be transparent (ie show the Yes or the No in the middle of it). I've
tried right clicking and setting background to transparent but still no
luck.

The thing that is really confusing me is a picture I inserted ealier IS
transparent, but all the properties appear to be the same when I
compare that picture with my circle. Another curious thing is when I
moved the transparent picture out of the 'Detail' section into the
'Footer' section, it lost its transparency. CONFUSED!!!

Any ideas much appreaciated...

Cheers
