Thanks Wolfgang.

I like the way you implemented the solution; however, if I load the pgf/tikz libraries with your solution, it still forces the frame to the next page.

Ultimately I want to load an image and have it framed for the background on the part page. I like the ability that tikz gives me to adjust the opacity of the image, which is why I tried to find a solution using tikz.

So I can find a solution without tikz, but is there one that will work with tikz?
