Borders made from graphics, but fluid width and height

Looking at the random pencil border effect at http://www.angrydonuts.com, made me wonder how far you could take CSS when creating border effects that aren't just straight lines. That example uses just CSS. I wanted to do something similar on my site, http://wickedmoon.com, where you see the graphic on the page that looks like smeared pink paint. I would simplify the border of the graphic, so it's more box shaped, with fewer indentations, but still keeping its organic, hand drawn appearance. I want to make that somehow into a CSS border, so the image can stretch to whatever width the user's screen is at. Maybe the graphic would be tiled, but the corners still need to fit somehow so it looks seamless. Any ideas how I can go about doing this and how far organic looking, graphical borders can be taken with CSS?
