Welcome to the forums!

I think you are describing tiling? You would need to use some CSS to have the image on there only once & this goes in the <HEAD>:

<style type="text/css">
body
{
background-image:
url("images/background.gif");
background-repeat:
no-repeat;
}
</style>

You can read more here: http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_background.asp and you can use CSS to place the image in the upper left, right, center, etc.
