I suggest you also use satin sheet backgrounds as wallpaper for your desktop and not a background for a webpage since text is very difficult to see when placed directly on top the graphic and because the graphic is not seemless (done on purpose by the way). However if you do your text in a table with a solid background similar to this one, using it as a background can work. It just takes some creativity. You can place your entire content in a table like this and make the background look like a border around it. Always think of ways to use a background other then placing text and images directly on it. Sometimes visitors think it is really creative and wonder how you did it not knowing that it was something so very simple. This especially works well with this category of backgrounds.
