you can use the following for your styling

#arrow {
    position: relative;
    background: url('url of the bigger image');

}
#arrow-inner {
    position: absolute;
    background: url('url of the smaller image');
    top: ;//dimmension in px for the vertical top displacement
    left: ;//dimmension in px for the vertical left displacement
    z-index:; dimmension in px for the z displacement though not neccessary
}
