It might be a good idea to explicitly specify the z-index
to make sure that it stays on the bottom.
(Assuming you want it to be on the bottom.
I suppose that with a transparent
image you might want it somewhere in the middle of the deck.)
Divs are great fun to use decoratively simply by assigning them a
background color and a z-index. Some people oppose this kind of
use (for instance, like the extra divs at zen garden), but I think it
is perhaps a lesser misdemeanor than many.
