To make the background white, simply invert the edge layer and use Screen blend mode. To make the background transparent simply change the opacity of the layer.
To give the background another color, you need to do it differently. There are several ways. One would be to set blend mode back to normal, click with the magic wand on the middle white area and press the Del key. Another way would be to use the edge itself as a mask to make the middle white are transparent. After that you can colorize the edge background.

Ok, here we go:
1. Paste the edge file as a layer on top of the photo.
2. Click with the magic wand tool on the inner white area.
3. If necessary feather the selection.
4. Hit the Del key.
5. Change the Opacity slider.
There are other ways (more elegant methods but also more complex) to do this depending on which application you use. But these instructions will work with most graphics applications.
