I've made chocolate transfers before, and this is what I do:
Draw or print out a SIMPLE line drawing. Place it on a completely flat surface that you can move (i.e.: a cutting board). Tape it down and then put parchment or wax paper on top of the drawing. Melt an "outline" color and put in a disposable pastry bag with a small tip. I usually use a #2, so that you can see the outline. Pipe the outline and place in freezer to dry-cutting board and all. It should take about a minute. While that part is in the freezer, melt the other color(s) you will use. Fill in inside the outline. Smooth the chocolate over the entire image-not going outside the outline. Put back in the freezer to set up: 2-3 min. at least. Once frozen, use a thin flexible spatula (an icing spatula works great) to release from the paper/board. The bottom, when turned over, will be completely flat and you will se the outlined details as well as the colored fill-in. HTH. Good luck.

Thanks. I was going to try those tomorrow. Do you have to do an outline if the colors are all the same?

The outline helps keep the candy from spreading when you flood your area so you probably need one to be sure that your colors don't go all over the place.
