Is there any reason you're using a table? They're great for content display, but for site layout, I'd generally suggest <div>s.

Also, is there anything more specific than that your problem is putting it into a table? It seems you have the table about covered here, and so I'm not very sure what sort of assistance/direction/etc you're looking for.

the spiral sides need to go all the way down but I might try using divs. I just wanted the layout to expand size when content increases. I have all the sizes and basic settings of the table already set but I need to figure out how to get the sides to go all the way to the bottom behind the flower

Hrrm... I'd forget about doing a tabled layout and stick with pure CSS. I can't think of exactly how you'd go about it off hand, but I know I've seen many expandable CSS layouts with repeating graphical borders, so I know it can be done.

That's probably not overly helpful - if I can dig up any tutorials, I'll link you.
