Make sure both layers are visable (you can see the eye icon) and set the "Mode" button to "Multiply". This should blend the edge of your logo layer into the background layer. It's not always perfect so be prepared. :) Got a little couch potato?

Agreed. If you want to stick with GIMP, however, you could try combining your green layer with the background using Multiply. That can help clean up jaggies in some cases.

An example of what I would like to be able to create in gimp: http://www.bigstockphoto.com/images/bsp-headleft.gif --> the smooth horizontal curvy shape white/light green, with the separating green border that grows from left to right Is this reasonably doable in GIMP?
