Pretty much .. you're other texture should be "winter1.jpg" as this is the black & white version.

Simple example ..

Open in online IDE

Graphics3D 640,480,16,1

;create texture1
Tex1 = CreateTexture( 128,128 )
SetBuffer TextureBuffer( Tex1 )
For y = 0 To 127
	For x= 0 To 127
		Color 64,Rnd(64,192), 64
		Plot x, y
	Next
Next
;create texture2 (mask)
Tex2 = CreateTexture( 128,128 )
TextureBlend Tex2, 2
SetBuffer TextureBuffer( Tex2 )
Color 255,255,255
Oval 0,0,128,128,1

SetBuffer BackBuffer()

;camera
Camera = CreateCamera()
PositionEntity Camera, 0, 0, -10

;background
Plane1 = CreatePlane()
RotateEntity Plane1, -90,0,0
PositionEntity Plane1, 0, 0, 1
EntityTexture Plane1, Tex1, 0, 0

;foreground
Plane2 = CreatePlane()
RotateEntity Plane2, -90,0,0
EntityTexture Plane2, Tex1, 0, 0
EntityTexture Plane2, Tex2, 0, 1 
EntityAlpha Plane2, .25
