  You can only have multiple headers, that change randomly, you can’t upload more than one background.

  Depending on the theme you choose you may upload a background image for your blog that will display on all pages. There are no themes that provide for a different background image on every page.

  Some themes have “feature” images which will be used on the pages they are attached to. Single post pages will display the feature image set on the post as a header for that page, and static pages can also have a featured image set that will display as a header for that page. The main blog page, archives, category and tags pages though will show the header that is set under appearance header in the dashboard.

  You can put a background color or image behind each post using this code:

  <div style="border:1px solid #COLOR_NUMBER;background-color:COLOR_NUMBER;padding-left:15px;padding-right:15px;padding-bottom:15px;background-image:url('http://1tess.LINK_TO_IMAGE.jpg');background-repeat:no-repeat;color:#COLOR_NUMBER;">
  ALL_YOUR_POST_HERE
  </div>

  The image can repeat in various ways:
  background-repeat:no-repeat
  background-repeat:repeat-x
  background-repeat:repeat-y
  background-repeat:repeat (this one repeats both across and down)

  That code must be used for each post to have a background image.
