Seamless background patterns

Seamless background patterns are patterns which can be repeated endlessly (or tiled) without elements being misaligned or lines being visible. That's why they can be used as backgrounds. They're also generally small, light images which take very little space on a server -- which is useful as image size is usually restricted on image hosts -- and are therefore much quicker to load than bigger images.
