How to make this background...

[Aartvark]

I'd like to see what you are ultimately able to come up with regarding this. I am the one that made the original, incidentally (I designed spooksparanormal.com), and you really could have just asked me. In any case, hopefully you will let me know how your attempts to emulate it go. I'd like to see the end result.

Incidentally, the image that makes up the background was just centered on the page like any other image (not on the pasteboard) and everything built over it. You need to turn off "Clip To Page Edges" on the "Website" tab of the "Web page Properties...". I don't know that this was the most efficient way of doing this, but it worked.
