 * Hi All,
 * First time poster and relative newbie with WP… I am just playing with a Canvas
   child theme and would like to add a repeating image (200 x 200) to the sides 
   of my site if this is at all possible. A boxed layout style setting has been 
   set but when specifying a repeating background image in the General styling options
   the entire area is populated with a background and not just the sides.
 * The site is littletigergifts . co . uk/wptest
 * For reference, I am trying to achieve a similar look to my current non WP site
   where an image of some paws has been specified on the sides when view from a 
   desktop machine – littletigergifts . co . uk
 * Thanks
 * Steve.

 * add this to your custom css or child theme’s style.css file
 *     ```
       body {
           background-image: url("http://littletigergifts.co.uk/wpimages/wpb18f6ff3_06.jpg") !important;
           background-repeat: repeat !important;
       }
       #inner-wrapper {
           background: #fff;
       }
       ```
   
 * of course you can replace the url bit for the background image to whatever image
   file you need
