A pale yellow background pattern with vertical stripes. The stripes are partially faded. I think this background image turned out pretty well, especially those faded stripes.

Graphene pattern 1 #2235
 Dark  CC 0

Different from the original in being a simple tile stored as a pattern definition, rather than numerous repeated objects. Hence easy and quick to give this pattern to objects of different shapes. To get the tile in Inkscape, select the rectangle and use shift+alt+i.
