Transparent PNGs
Transparent PNGs are kind of neat because they let the background color show through the picture. Take a look at the table shown below of "Twisted Twister" images. There's only one image, but different background colors are used and so the presentation of the image looks different in each instance.

Assignment:
You will create your own transparent PNG. Make sure your image is original. You can create your own twister image or you can create any other kind of image you want. You may also use more than one color in your image. Your image must be set to a width of 140 and a height of 75. You will display your image in a table like the one shown, EXCEPT THAT YOU WILL CREATE A FIVE BY FIVE TABLE with background colors for each cell set in the following pattern:
----------------------------------------------- | | | | | | | 000000 | 000444 | 000888 | 000bbb | 000fff | | | | | | | ----------------------------------------------- | | | | | | | 444000 | 444444 | 444888 | 444bbb | 444fff | | | | | | | ----------------------------------------------- | | | | | | | 888000 | 888444 | 888888 | 888bbb | 888fff | | | | | | | ----------------------------------------------- | | | | | | | bbb000 | bbb444 | bbb888 | bbbbbb | bbbfff | | | | | | | ----------------------------------------------- | | | | | | | fff000 | fff444 | fff888 | fffbbb | ffffff | | | | | | | -----------------------------------------------
