Evas would allow you to easily create objects on screen and manipulate 
their position, stacking layer, and RBGA values.  Edje makes it even 
easier by wrapping it in an interface design language.  It has 
transitional effects that provide exactly what you are describing.

Probably not the answer you wanted, but there's no way I'd spend a lot 
of time re-inventing the wheel when it's already been done in such an 
elegant way.
