Yes the flakes have a box around them. that's your bitmap. I'm trying to find a way around that.
If you want to play with the full particle set here are all the commands in 1 program. Play with the settings and watch what you get. Was a very interesting learning curve.

Going to write a quick tut on particles now for those that get stuck on this as I did and to give something back to the forum for giving to me.
