 * Hello I have a child twenty ten theme. I am trying to apply multiple backgrounds,
   is that possible using css? Will it work in all browsers?
 * For instance, I’d like to have one image repeat across the top (repeat-x), and
   another repeat across the entire page (repeat), where the one across the entire
   page is behind the one which repeats across the top.

 * CSS3 allows multiple overlapping background images like you’re describing – that’s
   not really on-topic for this forum, but a google search will turn up a ton of
   tutorials covering the necessary CSS tricks.
 * Note that browser support is quite good for Firefox & Webkit, but IE doesn’t 
   support multiple backgrounds for anything below IE 9.
 * For the WordPress-specific side of the question, just be aware that you have 
   to do this in your CSS only; in other words, you can’t use the Custom Background
   feature in the admin to upload your background images, as that would override
   the backgrounds you’ve set in CSS.
