I like the graphics! I wonder if you ought to give the time a framed or recessed black background?

Here you go! Should be the exact proportion to frame your clock, but You’ll have to resize/position in creator.

For those that want a very basic beginners guide on how to create bevelled bordered backgrounds out of the box, though not to the quality of the one by @kvansant, here is how with Paint.net and BoltBait’s plugins.
-
Draw a curved rectangle outline. I find 5-7 pixels about right for the width. Disable antialiasing:
-
Use the want to select the rectangle and choose Effects->Selection->Bevel. Choose the settings that suite you best:
3: Fill the middle:
4: Select the mage and use Effects->Selection0>Feather if you think it will help for outline antialias re-adding:
I would then play and get it cleaned up a bit more but this was a 5 minute chop and pop tutorial to show you can get close with minimal effort with the right plugins. End result:
If you create a very large square version you can just crop the middle out vertically and horizontally as needed without having to remake for all dimensions.
