MAybe you could just add a picture box to the form and load your image into that, then put your other UI elements over top of that. If necessary, you can strategically call the PictureBox.SendToBAck method to ensure that it is behind all of the other controls. It would probably be necessary to modify the image to make it semi-transparent or else it would be pretty distracting to look at.
