Transparency in Windows Forms is a tricky thing.  When you set the BackColor of a control to Transparent, the control itself does not actually become transparent.  What actually happens is that the control creates an image of its Parent behind it and displays that, even if its Parent is not what is directly underneath it.  What that means for a PictureBox showing through a Button is that only one PictureBox can be shown through each Button and that Button must be wholly within the bounds of that PictureBox.

So, what exactly are you asking for?  Are you saying that you want a Button to be able to overlap multiple PictureBoxes?  If so then you're out of luck.  If what you saying is that you have multiple Buttons and you want each of them to be able to show a PictureBox through them then you can do that easily enough.  If you already have my code for doing it with one Button then you have all you need.  You simply do the same thing multiple times, once for each Button.
