First you have to position it - either relative or absolute usually.
Secondly, you have to set a z-index if there are other positioned elements, though you may not necessarily need one.
Using top/left or bottom/right combinations layer the image over the other one.
This is advice without seeing any html/css. It will obviously differ depending on the situation.
#el-on-top { position:absolute; top:0; left:0; z-index:1; }
You may need to set position:relative so the AP'd element's top is relative to something, instead of say, the wrapper or the entire page.
