Actually, it starts exactly where you placed it. It's just that
repeat-y means exactly that: the image is repeated in both directions
along the y axis-- in other words, both up AND down. So from the
origin placement of '100% 70px' (all the way over to the right, and
70 px down) the image is repeated.
The same thing happens with repeat-x, just along the x axis
instead of the y axis.

That's the correct behavior, given your CSS. I can't think of a
solution that doesn't involve adding at least one more div or other
element.
