Compiled and ran your example - it generated 'sticker.png' flawlessly.

I'd suggest replacing this section to check the status return from
cairo_surface_write_to_png(), i.e.
	status = cairo_surface_write_to_png (tsurf, "sticker.png");
	if (status) {
		g_print ("Failed to write \"%s\": %s\n",
		         "sticker.png",
		         cairo_status_to_string (status));
	}

However, I would first check the permissions on 'sticker.png'.
