Overlapping User Controls in c#

Question

I want to overlap two user controls but with transparency. The best way to explain this is by referring to the image I have uploaded.

As you can see on the image, I have three user controls in my panel. I want to overlap onw control on top of the other control and it should be with a transparency value (0 to 1). Is there a way to do this?

In this link is the image I was talking about. A user Controls contains a label ("Name") and a bitmap. On the image there are three such controls.

P.S. Because of my low reputation Im not allowed to upload images so I just gave the link of the image.

Which operating system or programming framework? For example Windows, WPF, ...? — ChrisW, Jan 09 '14 at 14:45
The reason you can't embed the image is that it's PNG format. — ChrisW, Jan 09 '14 at 14:46
No I tried jpeg as well but it says that you should have a reputation over 10. — user3148946, Jan 09 '14 at 14:46

It looks like you're better off just merging the 3 images instead of the controls.

How to do that? Here's a link:
