OK, help me!!! :D

I have a couple of photos (red and green still lifes shot in a makeshift lightbox that I fabricated from a cardboard box and tissue paper). Unfortunately, the lights I was using arent nearly bright enough, so I had to use a flash. Not having an unlimited budget, I had to make due with the built in flash on my D40.
To make a long story, even longer, I have some very small harsh shadows in a couple of the pictures that I would like to remove. I just cant figure out the best way to do so.

You can see a couple of the shots I am talking about in my gallery. The red and green peppers have somewhat of a harsh shadow around the edges.

Thanks in advance!!!
