Brio diazo Plone Theme can display newsitems in a carousel, displaying newsitem title and description on a newsitems image as a background.
Let's add several newsitems with images to your Plone site. Here they are:
To make them appear in a carousel - add Carousel portlet as one of top area portlets (column B in our case), specify 'News' as a target collection for this carousel. As a result our carousel will display site newsitems on the corresponding newsitem image (the one, attached to the newsitem) - see right part.
