Responsive website

This whole responsive website is really confusing. I have 3 shades of solid red that I wanted layered to use as my website background. I was able to get it to work using the background-image tag with background-size. Problem is the background-size for my wiidth and height were not responsive when I made the browser smaller. I'll post a few snippits of code. The code below looks great on a full computer screen but as soon as I resize the image the watermark in the middle moves as well as all my other elements.

html{ background-image: url("Images/Top Banner.jpg"), url("Images/Middle Banner.jpg"), url("Images/Bottom Banner.png"); background-size: 2000px 150px, 2000px 200px, 2000px 1000px; background-repeat: no-repeat;

}

It's hard to tell without the associated HTML and images. Could you create a workspace for this and then make a snapshot and provide the link? Or else maybe a codepen or jsfiddle?

It's a bit of a guess without seeing the actual images, but what about using screen units for the dimensions?

  background-size: 100vw 15vh, 100vw 20vh, 100vw 100vh;

Would that fix it?
