Can background image extend beyond div's borders?

Question

Can background image extend beyond div\'s borders? Does overflow: visible apply to this?

Answer 1

I understand this is really really late, and I am not even sure if this is best practice but I found a little way to do this with my footer. My last section had a background image that I wanted to overflow into the footer and I fixed it with a few lines of CSS. Also added a little padding the section with the background image.

footer{
 background-color: transparent!important;
 top: -50px;
 margin-bottom: -50px;
}
