Simplest answer:
Get screenshot. Create a new, borderless, fullscreen, toplevel window. Draw screenshot. Draw on the window in response to mouse movement.
Less simple answer:
Google around "msdn layered windows".
Though less simple, this will produce a nicer UI result, as running applications can update their windows in the background and the user will still see the updates through your layered window.
Good luck!
