Question Setting up a perimiter around an image

[danarchy]

Basically, im creating a basic pacman/snake game, ive got the movements set up and all my bits and bobs but im having trouble setting up a perimiter around the "food" image to detect if the pacman is within it to allow him to "eat" the food.

The pic below explains what i mean...

Ive tried creating a box around the image which is +10, -10 for each edge on the x and y axis but it wont let me do it and is showing the following error.

Location is a Point, which is a combined x/y coordinate. You can't compare that to the leftedge (x) coordinate.

This is easier done using rectangles. Rectangle has a IntersectsWith method that you can use to see if the pacman rectangle intersects with the food rectangle.
