Hi there,
You can upload the screenshot to your media library and I could retrieve it from there.
From the looks of it, the background of the example site you provided is a custom background that was most likely created in image editing software and uploaded as a background. So as long as you have the preferred background, you can upload it via the Customizer. For more instructions, please visit:

Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks,

OK. That site achieves the effect with two files:
And some CSS and HTML that your site does not support.
Your best bet may be to combine the two images with repeats to create a very tall image (like 2000px tall or taller) or one that fades out at the bottom. Can you create that, then go to Customize > Colors and Backgrounds, and upload that image? Then tap on Repeat and Underlying Color and adjust those settings as you like.

You bet. Please bear in mind too, with is theme the pattern will go under the text as well. So you might want to choose something very subtle so the text stays clear. Hoping this helps.
