How about this:

from PIL import Image, ImageFont, ImageDraw, ImageChops

im = Image.open("test.jpg")
im.thumbnail((128, 128), Image.ANTIALIAS)

font = ImageFont.truetype("arial.ttf", 30)

def AddOverlay(im, origin, text, angle=-45):
    # Create an overlay with white text and subtract it from the image.
    # This effectively blacks out the area to be overlaid.
    overlay = Image.new(im.mode, im.size)
    draw = ImageDraw.Draw(overlay)
    draw.text(origin, text, (255, 255, 255), font=font)
    overlay = overlay.rotate(angle)
    stamped = ImageChops.subtract(im, overlay, 1, 0)


    # Now create a red overlay and add it to the subtracted image
    overlay = Image.new(im.mode, im.size)
    draw = ImageDraw.Draw(overlay)
    draw.text(origin, text, (255, 0, 0), font=font)
    overlay = overlay.rotate(angle)
    stamped = ImageChops.add(stamped, overlay, 1, 0)
    return stamped

stamped = AddOverlay(im, (10, 50), "SOLD!")
stamped.show()
