Thanks JULES! I’m trying to learn Designer, as I bought it (and Photo) for Mac and PC as a birthday present to myself (a few days ago).
Running across an issue where I get a background engrave as part of a transparent background PNG copied into AD. Ever run across something like this?

Yes, it’s a Fill Rule issue. Explanation for how to work around it is here:
No, you know what Todd, I’m not sure that’s right…you did say it’s a PNG and that’s raster not vector…my bad.
You might need to just clear the artifacts out of the PNG in Photoshop. A quick way to find them is to assign a stroke to everything temporarily…they will just jump out and you can then erase them.
Sorry, I’ve got to stop skimming so quickly.

Well, the crazy thing is that all of the background for the three different components (all PNG) are “grouped” in the GFUI together, so the simple fix was just to ignore that grouping.
That worked (at least for the one) and I just took the keychain I was creating to a home show where I gave it (as an unsolicited sample) to a generator installation and service company, so they could provide it with the keys to their customers’ generators - to keep the company top of mine for service - and to keep customers from losing keys.
Got some great interest from one of the two partners (who also happens to have a woodworking hobby), and I think I may have just managed to snag a good sized order of a few hundred key tags. We’ll see. That would be a great “happy birthday” to me!
