merge two images into one image in iPhone

I need to merge two images into one image, here is my code:

-(UIImage*)mergeImage:(UIImage*)mask overImage:(UIImage*)source inSize:(CGSize)size
{
    //Capture image context ref

    UIImageView *totalimage=[[UIImageView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 200, 200)];

    UIImageView *firstImage=[[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:mask];
    UIImageView *secondImage=[[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:source];

    [totalimage addSubview:firstImage];
    [totalimage addSubview:secondImage];

    UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(totalimage.bounds.size);
    [totalimage.layer renderInContext:UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()];
    UIImage *viewImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
    UIGraphicsEndImageContext();

    //Draw images onto the context
    [source drawInRect:CGRectMake(0, 0, source.size.width, source.size.height)]; 
    [mask drawInRect:CGRectMake(0, 0, mask.size.width, mask.size.height)]; 

    return viewImage;

}

I call this method as follows:

UIImage *totalImage = [self mergeImage:self.Apicimage overImage:questionImage inSize:CGSizeMake(100, 100)];

but on execution I get this output:

your code

[source drawInRect:CGRectMake(0, 0, source.size.width, source.size.height)]; 
    [mask drawInRect:CGRectMake(0, 0, mask.size.width, mask.size.height)];

should be written before

UIImage *viewImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
