I'm modifying Default to make it look as if the image on the Image Page is sitting in a scrapbook. (Thumbnail pages next). I added the CSS to #main:
background: #330000; / changed to chocolate /
background-image: url(scrapbookPage.jpg); / added image /
background-repeat: repeat-y;
and it works great.

Now I want to apply "the next step". In regular HTML, I had a table with 2 columns. The 1st row had the CSS with the spiral ring
background: #330000; / changed to chocolate /
background-image: url(scrapbookRing.jpg); / added image /
background-repeat: repeat-y;
the 2nd row would have the CSS as shown for #main.

However, with this Theme being PHP, Ajax, and other stuff I don't know, not sure how I can accomplish the "1st column" portion. I was going to give considertion that if I want to share this as a Theme, it would have to be flexible for image sizing. If I keep it only for myself, I already know the image size I use.

Hope this makes sense Sample of what I have so far (don't look too close as it's not finished!!!)
