You should be able to accomplish this with a plain UIView. Create a UIColor from the image (this makes a "pattern image", which can be tiled:

UIColor *patternColor = [UIColor colorWithPatternImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"pattern"]];

Then set the background color of the view like so:

view.backgroundColor = patternColor;

I'd run this code in the viewDidLoad or viewWillAppear methods of the view's controller.
