place a uiimageview in you view and put a transparent bordered png image on imageview.

Since every UIView is backed by a Core Animation layer, you can work directly on the layer if you want.

If you are building for 3.0 or higher, you have access to CALayer properties like cornerRadius, borderWidth, and borderColor. Those three should do exactly what you are looking for.

Don't use an image unless you have a very complicated design. If you can, just use the layer properties or override drawRect.

My biggest pet peeve is when developers use bitmap images for their UI when it could be drawn in code.
