Use an image as the border around a <div> element:
The border-image-source property specifies an image to be used, instead of the border styles given by the border-style properties.
Tip: If the value is "none", or if the image cannot be displayed, the border styles will be used.
Tip: Also look at the border-image property (a shorthand property for setting all the border-image-* properties).
