Merge PSD's into composite editable PSD

I have 2 PSD's. One is a white rectangle with text at the bottom. The other is a smaller rectangle that also has a text layer. I would like to create a composite PSD where the blue rectangle is on top of the white rectangle. I also need the text at the bottom of the white rectangle to be editable.

Is this possible using ImageMagick or would I be better suited trying to create a script in gimp?

The obvious tool to use would be Photoshop.

IM doesn't deal with text layers. It might pass it on to the output PSD, but I don't know. If you put sample inputs somewhere like dropbox.com and paste the URLs here, someone with PS might take a look.

You should be able to specify the layers with layer[0] layer[1] etc. change the order and composte. Might or might not work but it's worth a try.

NOTE: layer[0] should be all the layers combined so you would want to start with layer[1] which should be your white rectangle.
