title: CSS, Transparent background of a text
body: <p>new to HTML and CSS, tried to look for answer but can't seem to find it. Unto the question.</p>
  
  <p>The first code is my style.css the second code is for index.html    </p>
  
  <p><div class="snippet" data-lang="js" data-hide="false" data-console="true" data-babel="false">
  <div class="snippet-code">
  <pre class="snippet-code-css lang-css prettyprint-override"><code>h1 {
    background-image: url('linkto/images/transparent.png');
    background-repeat: repeat;
    font-family: "Amarillo";
    color: red;
    text-align: center;
  }</code></pre>
  <pre class="snippet-code-html lang-html prettyprint-override"><code>&lt;div id="homeSection" class="sect sectOne"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  &lt;h1&gt;Title of Web&lt;/h1&gt;
  &lt;section class="parallax"&gt;
    &lt;div id="servicesSection" class="parallax-inner"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  &lt;/section&gt;</code></pre>
  </div>
  </div>
  </p>
  
  <p>Now, If I had linked a a JPEG filed (instead of PNG), the H1 ("Title of Web") would show as red and the background is the JPEG file, however, I try to put a 50px by 50px transparent image (PNG) it doesn't work and the background just becomes white (default background, my guess).</p>
  
  <p>So I want the text to be red (or whatever color) but the background of it being transparent, am I on the right track or am I doing this all wrong?</p>
