Yes.. .You can use TransparencyKey property to have a color look transparent in windows form..

But I recommend to use Transparent image for this, as most of the times the image looks odd using TransparencyKey. Use Photoshop to make the white portion transparent before using this.

FYI, GIMP (GNU Image Manipulate Program... or something like that) can be used to edit images and add transparency. The advantage it has over PhotoShop is that it's free. Paint.NET might also do transparency, but I'm not sure. Just thought I'd add that to what the previous person said, as most people don't have a copy of PhotoShop just laying around.
