uilabel not the same height as uiimage with the same height

Im trying to put an image behind a uilabel and need both to be about the same height (the uiimageview a little bigger to surround uilabel) and I have given both the same height in cgrectmake but yet the uiimageview remains smaller than the uilabel even though they are set to the same height.Please help! Code:

UILabel *labelEntry = [[UILabel alloc]init];
labelEntry.numberOfLines = 0;
labelEntry.text = entry;
CGSize expectedLabelSize = [entry sizeWithFont:[UIFont systemFontOfSize:17.0] constrainedToSize:CGSizeMake(300.f, FLT_MAX) lineBreakMode:NSLineBreakByWordWrapping];
CGRect lblFrame =  CGRectMake(13, 30, 320, expectedLabelSize.height);
labelEntry.frame = lblFrame;
labelEntry.lineBreakMode = NSLineBreakByWordWrapping;
labelEntry.font = [UIFont systemFontOfSize: 17.0];
labelEntry.textAlignment = NSTextAlignmentCenter;
labelEntry.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];

enter image description here

UIImageView *backgroundImage = [[UIImageView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(13, 30, 320, expectedLabelSize.height)];
backgroundImage.image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"postl.png"];
[scrollView addSubview:backgroundImage];

From your image(postl.png) what i can notice is, there is shadow effect applied to the image. Try once by setting background color for the imageview & you can see the shadow of applied image. Later you can adjust the frames accordingly

What is the size of post1.png? If it is not the same size as your CGRect you will need to stretch it. That would include changing your UIImageView's contentMode and possibly creating a stretchable image.
