The page layout comprises multiple objects that are stacked on top of one another in the order in which you created them. The most recently created object is at the top of the stack, and the page layout background is at the bottom.
If you overlap two objects in the print layout, the object that is higher on the stacking order will display in front of the other object. You can change this order any time using the Drawing menu's Bring Forward and Send Backward commands.
