I'm looking to create a basic screensaver, background set to a specific color, with a specific image (or images) bouncing around on the computer screen.
For reference, the majority of the computers are running Windows 7, 64-bit, we also have a few Windows 8 computers, and would hope it to be Win8 compatible, if we were to upgrade.
Also, I'm looking to deploy this screensaver to a corporation using Microsoft Group Policy. I'm already familiar with the policies I need to set to accomplish this. From my understanding of it, the GPO option available to me is to pick a specific .scr file, and it will enforce that as the computer's screensaver.
I know Microsoft has a built in Photo/Slideshow screensaver, but i cannot find a way to "push" a configuration for that screensaver to multiple computers. I can set it as the screensaver, but not with the specific image I want. I also do not see an option to set the background color used.
I've searched for other tools without success.

You could always write your own ;) http://www.harding.edu/fmccown/screensaver/screensaver.html
I ran through this tutorial last year an made a nice one for our company using a logo and a background flash. Not too difficult if your proficient at image editing and have a basic level of coding knowledge. I ended up writing my own because the commercially available screensaver tools I found were abysmal.
We run the screensaver for 15 minutes, at which point the monitors go to sleep.
