Well, I'll jump in with a quick bit here.
You are using spaces in your filenames, such as: background-image: url(White%20Seethru.JPG);

See how %20 is inserted where you actually had a space in the filename. You should avoid spaces in names and URL's because not everyones browser will be able to interpret them as you intend. Instead, use an underline, ie:"White_Seethru.JPG".
That way it's still easy to read, and avoids the issue.
Also, you might want to set a standard for how you name the extension, because to a unix based server, .JPG is not equal to .jpg. Keeping them in one format all the time can help later on when you migt have 50 or 100 sites to maintain.
I also always try to use a full url to images, ie: "http://www.phonesexgoddess.com/white_seethru.jpg". Thats how it might look if it was a site of mine.

The main thing is the spaces though, the rest is just suggestions for organizing things and such.
Have fun
