Transparent Pictures - 2D gaming

im somewhat new to programming, but im not terrible either.... im trying to make a basic 2-demensional game were people can walk around... however,the white background from Paint always shows up and covers part of my background... so how do i make it so that only the person shows above the background? if you hav any ideas or codes, i would greatly appriciate it... and the version of visual basic is "Visual Basic 2005 express edition" which is pretty much the latest free-download version there is.
