  Have you tried using Google search and searching for “free background tile images” and/or “free background tiles”?

  If you are using a theme that has background image support, which a lot of our themes do, then you can add a background image to be tiled and fixed right from the Appearance → Background page in your blog dashboard.

  I checked your http://highrisemind.wordpress.com/ site which is using the Parament theme, and I see that you have this at the top:

  body {
  background:#202228 url('images/diagonal-stripes-010.png');

  Remove the line that starts with “background:” and it will let your Appearance → Background settings show through.

  Glad you figured it out! If you have a chance, it’d be awesome to post the solution you found here too. I checked out http://vizionariproductionz.wordpress.com/ and it looks like this is the CSS you used to make the background repeat and fixed:

  body {
  background:url('YOUR_IMAGE_URL');
  background-repeat:repeat;
  background-attachment:fixed;
  }

  where YOUR_IMAGE_URL is your image link starting with http://
