When creating emails with a background image, the only two options are either Tile or Stretch. The Stretch option (see image 1) stretches the image out completely, messing up the original dimensions. The other option, Tile (see image 2), stacks the background image multiple times, one on top of the other from the top to the bottom of the email. However, it shows the stitching/line where these stacked images meet. I’d like to suggest a 3rd option where the background can be one continuous image, kind of like Tile but without the line showing where the separate images meet/are attached to each other. I think this would make the emails look a lot cleaner. ![Screen Shot 2021-11-29 at 11.38.27 AM.jpg](https://d2qpr2jzcazej7.cloudfront.net/original/3X/9/c/9c3fe5760854bc75047544a6f66d8083ce1ba7b2.jpeg) Stretch ![Screen Shot 2021-11-29 at 11.12.24 AM.jpg](https://d2qpr2jzcazej7.cloudfront.net/original/3X/2/8/280e22d19c7da596ff7c5c68c2608bb97a84ca1b.jpeg) Tile ---
