CSS question for web designers?
 

http://www.lezboland.com/newsite.htm

It's not a finished design but what's the best way to lay this out? with the header as the background and the logo and buttons as images above the background? Is it really important I use the repeat for the header? What about the images that will go under the text for the sample? This is going to be my first CSS site. I use to just do all Flash Sites until I started doing this because it's not very practical to do a Flash site for this. But I'm guessing it makes more sense to build it this way to be able to easily change it later.
