I included a complete code listing of a functional example. The main problem with wha tI shared earlier was that I did it quickly in Groovy, where everything is an object. When I called layeredPane.add(xxx, 4) - the number 4 was an object - whereas in Java it is not - this called the wrong function so that the label would not appear... ok - here is the code... run this with your own image and then modify it to do what you need...
import java.awt.Dimension;
import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;
import java.io.File;
import javax.imageio.ImageIO;
import javax.swing.ImageIcon;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.JLayeredPane;
import javax.swing.JScrollPane;
public class BackgroundImageExample {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        try {
            //Load Image
            String filename = "/home/dlpinto/Desktop/Screenshot.png";
            BufferedImage image = ImageIO.read(new File(filename));
            //Create Image Label
            JLabel label = new JLabel(new ImageIcon(image));
            label.setBounds(0, 0, image.getWidth(), image.getHeight());
            //Create Layered Pane
            JLayeredPane layeredPane = new JLayeredPane();
            layeredPane.setLayout(null);
            layeredPane.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(image.getWidth(), image.getHeight()));
            //Create Desired Components
            JLabel messageLabel = new JLabel("Hello World");
            messageLabel.setOpaque(true);
            messageLabel.setBounds(50, 50, 100, 100);
            //Populate Layered Pane
            layeredPane.add(label, new Integer(JLayeredPane.DEFAULT_LAYER-1));
            layeredPane.add(messageLabel, JLayeredPane.DEFAULT_LAYER);
            //Create ScrollPane
            JScrollPane sp = new JScrollPane(layeredPane);
            //Create & Display Frame
            JFrame frame = new JFrame();
            frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
            frame.setSize(800, 600);
            frame.add(sp);
            frame.setVisible(true);
            System.out.println(layeredPane.getLayer(messageLabel));
            System.out.println(layeredPane.getLayer(label));
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
}
