Ok I've figured out how to load a background, but it was longer to start with but got cut off, whereas yours goes all the way to the max allowable limit in terms of verticle length - how is that done? I guess it depends on the original design fitting just right?
I do have a request for a full verticle length background if I might be so bold... but first I would like to know how it's done, I've always wondered about that, why with some people it stops up short, others you get the image repeating, and others who've somehow been able to perfect it, like you have and who have a full length background.. curious about that.

here is mine:

I put a space before the period in front of gif. Just remove that space when you paste it into your avatar. along with the space between the first h and the ttp

For the background I'm looking for the most magnificent stars on a black space background, but as if they're telling a story, at the bottom, with a two star conjuction (representing Jupiter and Venus just touching or about to), say above the thin curvature of the earth turning from day to night at the very bottom, and above, just a beautiful heavenly display of stars at increasingly higher heights, with my avatar (no red moon) at the top, yet still framed by the starry background - is that a good description?
That's what I'm asking for for Christmas this year anyway..
Here's the one to work with

Thanks for your help!

Hi there.
Someone has already helped me out in a very big way re: Santa hat and blood-red moon [lunar eclipse] (see my avatar) and I just don't feel comfortable making any more requests of him given the degree to which we've already gone back and forth tweaking and retweaking.
The issue is with the blood-red moon, which doesn't look quite moon-like enough and I was hoping to get another one made and inserted in the pic, same diameter, same location with certain degree of fading (to make it fit in with da Vinci's painting). My helper used a real moon image from a lunar eclipse and if possible I'd still like to do that, but in the scaling down to size it lost aspects of the light faded moon cratering you normally see when you look at the moon. Right now it appears planetoid, but you can't be certain that it is indeed the moon during a lunar eclipse.
Here's the image without the moon

Here's a link to A lunar eclipse image (although another might work better for this purpose I don't know..), but I only have paint and can't crop it and size it

In terms of placement and size here's what we're looking at
Full Moon Rising

Full Moon Risen
Once I get the red lunar eclipse moon perfected, then there's something really cool and highly symbolic for the background to fill the whole avatar panel, which I'll need some help with as well.
Thank you so much in advance for any help you can provide.
Best Regards, Merry Christmas and Happy New Age!
