As far as helping with your edge....here goes. First question is, do you have Photoshop? The following was done in PSCS3, however most versions of PS will have the healing brush.
Open your image in PS. Select the healing brush. At the top you should see a window that normally says normal, drop this menu down and select replace. On the image place your brush near the line and hold down the Alt key to select that color. Use your left click and start blending out the line. Once finished and pretty close go back up to the menu and select normal. Then just do some touch up. I am better with pictures, this may help. Corrected your image in less than 1 minute.
I am not trying to highjack your thread, just want to show you what white can look like. I removed the edge of the plexiglass just as I described in the above instruction.
As Kanikula stated, don't be afraid to ask. I'll help in any way that I can. I am self taught in photography, Photoshop and web design by doing exactly what you are here. I can not even begin to tell you how many hours of forums and google searches that I have read.
Best regards,

ok i had a bash and i have the general idea but how exactly do you blend it in? Where did you take the sample colour from on the pic?
Where ever I take it from it does not seem to blend right.

Way to go jols! You may notice the area around the teddy bears fur hood spilled over to your bg. This was done by getting to close when the drop down menu was in normal mode. To clean it up a bit choose a small brush size and use replace in the drop down menu.
Lets all give jols a round of applause
