You can flip both vertical and horizontal at the same time

    -moz-transform: scaleX(-1) scaleY(-1);
    -o-transform: scaleX(-1) scaleY(-1);
    -webkit-transform: scaleX(-1) scaleY(-1);
    transform: scaleX(-1) scaleY(-1);

And with the transition property you can get a cool flip

    -webkit-transition: transform .4s ease-out 0ms;
    -moz-transition: transform .4s ease-out 0ms;
    -o-transition: transform .4s ease-out 0ms;
    transition: transform .4s ease-out 0ms;
    transition-property: transform;
    transition-duration: .4s;
    transition-timing-function: ease-out;
    transition-delay: 0ms;

Actually it flips the whole element, not just the background-image

SNIPPET

function flip(){
	var myDiv = document.getElementById('myDiv');
	if (myDiv.className == 'myFlipedDiv'){
		myDiv.className = '';
	}else{
		myDiv.className = 'myFlipedDiv';
	}
}

#myDiv{
  display:inline-block;
  width:200px;
  height:20px;
  padding:90px;
  background-color:red;
  text-align:center;
  -webkit-transition:transform .4s ease-out 0ms;
  -moz-transition:transform .4s ease-out 0ms;
  -o-transition:transform .4s ease-out 0ms;
  transition:transform .4s ease-out 0ms;
  transition-property:transform;
  transition-duration:.4s;
  transition-timing-function:ease-out;
  transition-delay:0ms;
}
.myFlipedDiv{
  -moz-transform:scaleX(-1) scaleY(-1);
  -o-transform:scaleX(-1) scaleY(-1);
  -webkit-transform:scaleX(-1) scaleY(-1);
  transform:scaleX(-1) scaleY(-1);
}
