Hi Elli, I don't believe that tiling works like that. If you set background-repeat, it repeats for the whole length or width or both of the element. I'm pretty sure you can't set it to start at x and repeat in one direction or the other, because how would the system know whether to repeat up, down, left or right?
Best bet is to use some sort of wrapper with a padding to achieve it. I had to accomplish something similar a while back and I did with negative margins, but in your case, that may not work since you have text flow issues to worry about in this case. Let me know if you need help with a wrapper configuration.
