karlicat, to get a background for a banner, just find a pic you want to use and save it to your computer. You can find some good ones by searching for 'free backgrounds' or 'free graphics' and a bunch of sites will come up. Then just import the image into Selteco. You can select it and copy it and paste it several times to tile it or you can stretch it or do what you want to do. Just play around with it some and you'll find a way you like,
