How do I put a jLabel on top of another using Netbeans?

Question

As the title states, how would I approach putting a jLabel (which in this case is an image) on top of another jLabel (which is also an image)?

The use case is a checkers game. Every time I try to drag another jLabel on, it moves the existing one to the side.

You probably want to look into layered panes - https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/components/layeredpane.html
