To overlay a transparent PNG onto another transparent PNG in Tkinter, you can use the following approach:

Steps to Achieve This: Load the Images: Load the two transparent PNG images using the PIL (Python Imaging Library) module.

Overlay the Images: Use PIL to overlay one image on top of the other, ensuring that the transparency is preserved.

Display in Tkinter: Convert the combined image to a format that Tkinter can display, such as PhotoImage, and then display it in a Tkinter widget.

Key Considerations: Image Size: Ensure both images are of the same size or resize them appropriately to fit together.

Transparency Handling: Properly handle the alpha channel to maintain transparency in the final image.

Tkinter Compatibility: Convert the combined image to a format that is compatible with Tkinter.
