I am trying to add some Fill Effects to a regular color filled cell which
contains text. I can't seem to find where it is possible.

I have tried adding a Basic Shape from the Drawing Toolbar and have played
with the transparency and fill effects to get the text to show through, but
it looks ugly.

Is there either a way to have the text entered into the sheet show in front
of the drawing object, or add the same fill effects to a regular cell.
