Insert a UIImageView behind the UITableView. Set the UIImageView's image to background.png. Use UIColor clearColor as the table's background.
You need to put a UIImageView beneath your table view, set the table view's background color to clear (or in IB, set the opacity property of its background at 0). Then construct your CELL views to have clear areas that your background image can be seen through. You can do that programmatically or in IB (it's easier to visualize in IB, but the code to hook it all together is a bit tricky).
