## Description
<section id='description'>
One way to add texture and interest to a background and have it stand out more is to add a subtle pattern. The key is balance, as you don't want the background to stand out too much, and take away from the foreground. The <code>background</code> property supports the <code>url()</code> function in order to link to an image of the chosen texture or pattern. The link address is wrapped in quotes inside the parentheses.

## Instructions

Using the url of <code>https://i.imgur.com/MJAkxbh.png</code>, set the <code>background</code> of the whole page with the <code>body</code> selector.
