Create a class that extends Button and just handle the paint event.

public class MyButton : System.Windows.Forms.Button
{
public MyButton()
{
InitializeComponents();
this.Paint += new PaintEventHandler(MyButton_Paint);
}

private void MyButton_Paint(object sender, PaintEventArgs e)
{
//Do your GDI+ Drawing here using e.Graphics.
}
}
