IMO, the "circle" graphic is a bit on the *spotty* side. Have you tried
flood filling w/ the green on the outside edges of the green? Or,
possibly use the "shapes" tool, set to filled circle with width of 1 or
2 to get the green more solid (right near the edge of the circle before
the open-lined circles start)? That is where I see the most obvious
flaws. The edges around the lettering itself doesn't look too bad nor
too noticable. That area appears to have the raised effect and would be
acceptable with me.

I do not have any suggestions for you on how to achieve the cutout
effect, but possibly the suggestions above (for using w/ psp) might make
the raised effect look better. Just letting you know what it looks like
to me while viewing in 256 colors.
