This method merge two images one in the top of the other you can modify the code to meet for your needs:

    public static Bitmap MergeTwoImages(Image firstImage, Image secondImage)     {         if (firstImage == null)         {             throw new ArgumentNullException("firstImage");         }          if (secondImage == null)         {             throw new ArgumentNullException("secondImage");         }          int outputImageWidth = firstImage.Width > secondImage.Width ? firstImage.Width : secondImage.Width;          int outputImageHeight = firstImage.Height + secondImage.Height + 1;          Bitmap outputImage = new Bitmap(outputImageWidth, outputImageHeight, System.Drawing.Imaging.PixelFormat.Format32bppArgb);          using (Graphics graphics = Graphics.FromImage(outputImage))         {             graphics.DrawImage(firstImage, new Rectangle(new Point(), firstImage.Size),                 new Rectangle(new Point(), firstImage.Size), GraphicsUnit.Pixel);             graphics.DrawImage(secondImage, new Rectangle(new Point(0, firstImage.Height + 1), secondImage.Size),                 new Rectangle(new Point(), secondImage.Size), GraphicsUnit.Pixel);         }          return outputImage;     }
