Need help with background image

[mplssign]

I'm trying to get my site to have this background:
http://tholmesonline.com/HOME.jpg

Here's what my site currently looks like:
http://www.sewdarnedcute.com/index.php

I'm also trying to achieve the stitched border as well.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks!

You unfortunately have one of the dreaded Template Monster templates....where they take license in assembling their own coding.

You need to find the "body" tag and apply/add these to it replacing with your image:

background-image: url(../images/some_image_bg.jpg);
background-repeat: repeat-x or y or both;

For the border add to mainWrapper if they have it

border: 2px dashed #000000;

The rounded corners will need additional entries and you can refer to one of the free templates that incorporate rounded corners for the methods see at:
http://(sorry, site offline)/

Would this be located in the "stylesheet_tm.css" file?

I added the dashed line but it's all the way on the outer edge. How can i get inlined a few inches and outside of that would be the background, like in my example. And how can I make it rounded and Brown in color?

Thanks for your help!!

Very difficult to advise on a Template Monster Template for the reasons stated previously...
I did point you to where to see how the rounded corners can be seen and the methods copied and applied to your template

I'll give it a try - thanks!

I tried the changing the background and it made the pattern across the entire background. How do I get a white background for the midddle like my example.

Thanks!

Apply the background image to the body tag and set the mainWrapper to the width of your header with a background color of white

[mplssign]

What would the code be for that?

[kobra]

The same stylesheet addition as posted before just added to the body tag

background-image: url(../images/some_image_bg.jpg);
background-repeat: repeat-x or y or both;

Width is added/altered in the mainWrapper tag

width: ??%or ??px;
