The .NET Bitmap class "encapsulates a GDI+ bitmap", that means you should call Dispose on a Bitmap when you are finished with it,

"Always call Dispose before you release your last reference to the Image. Otherwise, the resources it is using will not be freed until the garbage collector calls the Image object's Finalize method."
