I am trying to draw the following image with tikz -

What exactly happens is it looks like the text box is like a layer on top of the matrix of objects. I want to make them appear as if they in the same layer. And I think I can achieve it if I am able to fade the border around the text box and make them fuzzy (fade gradually).
I tried to use the solutions from this question, but doesn't work.
Is it possible to do this?
The code goes as follows -
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{arrows,automata,calc,shapes, positioning,shadows,shadows.blur,shapes.geometric}
\begin{document}
\scalebox{0.5}{

\mymacroyou can usepics(kind amacromechanism provided byTiKZ) as I proposed in your previous question. You'll find some other examples in: http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/101200/1952 or http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/108132/1952 – Ignasi Oct 02 '14 at 08:06! Package pgfkeys Error: I do not know the key '/tikz/myobject/.pic' and I am going to ignore it. Perhaps you misspelled it.– knowledge_seeker Oct 02 '14 at 08:13TiKZ 3.0, which tikz version do you use? – Ignasi Oct 02 '14 at 08:152.10– knowledge_seeker Oct 02 '14 at 08:24\mymacrountil you could consider to update it or update all your TeX system which I suspect is also outdated. – Ignasi Oct 02 '14 at 09:01
