Hey Marsela,

I hope this is what you meant...

THViewController.m

-(Void)viewDidLoad{
     [super viewDidLoad];
     self.crystalBall = [[THCrystalBall alloc] init];

     UIImage*backgroundImage = [UIImage imageNamed:@"background"];
     UIImageView *imageView = [[UIImage alloc] initWithImage:backgroundImage];
     [self.view insertSubview:imageView atIndex:0];
}

Hopefully this is what you were after

Stu :)

You can also do it from the storyboard. Just make sure you change the hierarchy so that it is on the bottom and doesn't cover up your labels and buttons.
