hmm good idea it is a little hard to read!

 

and that link wont help, i can make a background full size but how getting the starburst to start in the middle of the logo on every screen

If you need it spread to be top left id assume there is already a fixed position form the left no? OR are you simply making it center and want to let the burst grow while keeping the content center aligned?

 

If its a children's site what age are you aiming for because the trick is to let the child navigate the site but make it easy enough for the adult to enter the card details (if its a shop based on the tap in the above image) not many 8 year olds have a credit card or do online shopping ;)

 

Based on that header id recommend looking a bit more into colour theory for children and how they use the web...

You can use it as a body background, and make it in the middle.

 

You need to value center:

body: url{} no-repeat center center;

 

 

But it all depends on the size of the image, if you want a full background you need to coat method, by adjusting the gecko and webkit:

 

html {
        background: url (images / bg.jpg) no-repeat center center fixed;
        -webkit-background-size: cover;
        -moz-background-size: cover;
        -o-background-size: cover;
        background-size: cover;
}

 

hopefully can help
