windows phone image overlay

I want to know how to overlay one image over the over in Windows Phone. I did some search online, a lot of people suggest put two images into one grid and adjust the margin. However, my case is a little different. I'm making the background image of the secondary tile, I want to integrate the two images, store it locally and make the tile. So I can't put them into a grid. So what should I do in this case? Thanks!

I made this work using Ku6opr method using the following

WriteableBitmap bmp = new WriteableBitmap(173, 173);
bmp.Render(renderRoot, new TranslateTransform());
bmp.Invalidate();

where renderRoot is the usercontrol containing the Grid and the Image. I then save the bmp to the /Shared/ShellContent folder in Isolated storage.

You can create UserControl with any layout you wish (173x173px). Then, when you need to generate a tile, put this control to a page (probably out of the screen) and make and image from it with new WriteableBitmap(YourTile, null);. Than save these image to the /Shared/ShellContent/ and you are done

Probably there are better solutions for this task but this works fine too
