It has been a while since I stretched my HTML/CSS legs and am trying to figure out how to build something. Basically I want a single row (using divs) that has a gray text box with a transparent image overlaying the box. The gray box does not go all the way across the div, but the image does overlay part of it. I want to achieve this with HTML and CSS. I have attached a crude image of what I am trying to achieve. I also need this to be responsive in mobile where the text box fills the first row, and the image drops below the text box.

Any help would be greatly appreciate

<link rel="stylesheet" href="screen.css" media="screen">

</head>
<body>

<h1>Test Page</h1>

<section>

Thanks so much for the welcome, and thanks for the code snippet, this is very close, but I think my mock was bad, this is more what I am trying to achieve. I want the image to overlay the text box in normal mode.
