I would not overdraw areas with white, imagine you have some background you want to keep. And tikzstyle

How can one insert a little of white margin between the boundaries of the two backgrounds? I mean, the backgrounds are tangent to each other right now.

I don't think you need to crop the blue part. You only have to draw the yellow part after the blue part -- in that case, the yellow part will overfill the blue part.

@Roboticist If I understand your comment, you only need to put a white frame of the yellow part. This can be done with
draw=white

@JouleV: The yellow background is indeed drawn "after" the blue background in the
WE
. Additionally, I'd like to know a potential approach to achieving margins with arbitrary shapes.– Roboticist
