Hi Nancy,

at first I was quite puzzled as well, but then I took a bath and Heureka!  
the problem boiled down to being too simple to believe:
The image created is an indexed image because the initial bg.png is  
indexed - but should be truecolor.
Change the color depth of bg.png to truecolor and all is well.

As an alternative you might as well delete the background image and use  
these lines instead, which will give you more flexibility:

	$image      = imagecreatetruecolor(330,250);
	$background = imagecolorallocate($image, 255, 255, 255);
	imagefill($image,0,0,$background);


Cheers,

jens
