Is there a template available that I can make a custom background similar to this one?

Smarter Living Group - CafeMom

What I'd like to have in my background is paw prints with the option to add pictures similar to this site. I need a relatively easy template that doesn't require coding, or much anyway.

Thanks.

What background image you are using - has NOTHING to do with the themes/templates.

If a template has a middle section for the content and around it there is 'empty' space - you can apply any kind of bg image to the <body>.

  You don't have to agree with me... However, you have to read the sticky posts to prevent you from making nonsense posts like this

  You also need to know Photoshop or some image creating/editing program to make such a background.:rolleyes:

Just create a big image in Photoshop or Gimp, upload it to the server, and write this in the main css file
body {
background-image: url('exact/url/of/image.gif');
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: center;
}

If it doesn't work, you will have to learn w3schools.com is a good source. Check out html and css
