We are going to add a background field to hold the questions, this field will appear on every card in this background(the only background at the moment).
A field is a container for text(a text box if you like). A BackGround Field will appear on each card on a BackGround, but the text will vary from card to card.
Other BackGround objects, buttons and graphics, will be exactly the same on each BackGround. More Info PopUp Window
