One way you can accomplish putting a label over an image is by creating 
a 1x1 table and putting both the image and the label in the same/only 
cell.  You will probably need to play with the alignment (*not* the 
justification) of the label to get it into the correct position.  Make 
sure to attach the label to the table cell first, or the image will hide it!
