Duplicate the layer the render's on, delete the layer that's called "Background" make a new transparent layer and move it underneathe the duplicated layer, erase away =].

You should really be using the paths tool to render stuff though. It's neater and easier.

Actually, it's easier than that. Just add an alpha channel.
