Featured Pages – background image question

I'm using the featured pages function, to display specific pages. 3 columns, 2 rows. I've added a background image to this section, which is a function I greatly appreciate. However, the background image is cropped by the site, and within the wrapper. I'd like it to cover the site from left edge to right edge. Just as other widget backgrounds do. I also don't want it to crop, as the image contains a copyright notice. Is it possible to get this fixed? Still not showing the site to anyone as it needs to be approved before other people than I see it.
