As far as I can tell, your approach will work fine, as long as you just want
to layer images on top of each other for some effect.

<shameless plug>
If you want to layer other real objects in front of the camera, you might
want to have a look at my Glare-Macros. They provide an easy setup for the
"standard" camera (only look_at, location, optional sky and aspect_ratio)
and will position an image in front of the camera, filling the entire
viewing frustrum. The Glare-Macros are meant to layer a specular-layer on
top of the original image in order to get the glaring effect, but there's
also a macro which will just take a pigment and place it in front of the
camera.
