Override OnPaint and draw in your own image. Something like this:

protected override void OnPaint(PaintEventArgs e)
{
    base.OnPaint(e);
    e.Graphics.DrawImage(myBackGroundBitmap, 0, 0);
}

Of course you need to load that image, and you may want to tile, center or scale it, but the process is really simple.
