[|Heart Stationary] - This is a subtle background with a heart design that would be appropriate for a February newsletter. This effect can be done easily. Use the media button to bring in a photo from your iPhoto Library. While the photo is still selected, go to the Inspector. Choose the graphic inspector. At the very bottom of that window is a slider for opacity. Slide that to the left and the image becomes more like a watermark, making a very nice look for stationary.
