I need to take an image and place it onto a new, generated white background in order for it to be converted into a downloadable desktop wallpaper. So the process would go:

1) Generate new, all white image with 1440x900 dimensions
2) Place existing image on top, centered
3) Save as single image

In PIL, I see the ImageDraw object, but nothing indicates it can draw existing image data onto another image. Suggestions or links anyone can recommend?
