Patterns actually can be found almost everywhere – in print design, web design, graphic design etc. For example if you use pattern in web design, just set CSS repeat-x-y and you’ll get beautiful background,but image will be very small and page load time will be much faster.

Auto-Moving Parallax Background | CSS-Tricks - http://css-tricks.com/auto-moving-parallax-background/
A while back I did a little demo on parallax backgrounds. As a quick review, parallax is that effect where there are different layers of backgrounds that all move at a different rate creating a very unique 3D effect (think Sonic the Hedgehog). In that original demo, the only way to see the parallax action take place was resize the browser window.

Speed Up with CSS3 Gradients | CSS-Tricks
http://css-tricks.com/css3-gradients/
WebKit browsers paved the way with CSS based gradients. Now Firefox 3.6 is out and is supporting them as well, which makes using them for progressive enhancement all the more appealing. More good news, CSS3 gradients fall into the camp where you can specify fallbacks (i.e. images) so that browsers that don’t support them just use the image instead. But wait… if you need to use an image anyway, why bother with declaring the gradient with CSS? That is kind of how I felt for a long time, but there is one important aspect that makes it worth it: browsers that support them don’t load the image fallback. One less HTTP Request = all the faster your site will load.

A List Apart: Articles: Supersize that Background, Please!
http://www.alistapart.com/articles/supersize-that-background-please/
Create properly scaling backgrounds.
Good use of background cover property and @media queries
Instead of using one fixed background size, a better solution would be to scale the image to make it fit within different window sizes. Unfortunately, CSS 2.1 has no means of scaling background images. There are a couple of workarounds, however these all rely on the HTML img element (instead of CSS backgrounds). They also use absolute positioning for layering and tables or scripting to enable resizing. Additionally, not all of these techniques preserve the image’s ratio, which results in unrealistically stretched backgrounds.
