Are you sure you want to use the image? If the image is a solid color, you are probably better off just setting the button's background to white and adjust its opacity. How:
<Button Background="White" Opacity="0.5" />
Where Opacity can be any value from 0 to 1.
EDIT. , "". , ? , , :
<Button>
<Button.Background>
<LinearGradientBrush>
<GradientStop Color="Yellow" Offset="0.0" />
<GradientStop Color="Orange" Offset="0.5" />
<GradientStop Color="Red" Offset="1.0" />
</LinearGradientBrush>
<Button.Background>
</Button>
