I wouldn't want to have that image repeat because it'd be a sharp change from the green of the grass back to the blue of the sky. What I'd do there, if you have Photoshop or something similar (if you have Dreamweaver you should at least have Fireworks), is make the bottom of your image gradually fade to solid dark green colour, then set the background colour of your cell to that green colour. It'd be similar to what the CP page does at the top where it gradually goes from red to black, then is black the rest of the way.

You should be able to set your table cell sizes to exact values that match the size of the graphics you have inside them, then set the one cell that you want to fill in the rest of the page to width="100%" and height="100%", which should force it to push all of its white space right up against the defined cell sizes.

So, if your photo is 200px wide and the "Contact Us" graphic is 100px high, your code would look something like:

<tr>
<td width="200px" rowspan="2">photo</td>
<td height="100px">CONTACT US</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="100%" height="100%">Page content</td>
</tr>
