I've only recently discovered the wonders of using CSS Sprites to increase page download speed by making fewer HTTP requests.

CSS, Image Sprites, Background Images and Website Optimization
It is a great technique that makes a very noticable improvement in speed.
My question is: Does anyone know of a way of using this technique with background images you need to repeat. I've tried everything I can think of and can't get it to happen.
