I found that image here:
I would recommend for you to read up on copyright laws and how images can be used.

Toasty’s suggestions:
Make sure to read the license and see if it’s free for commercial use. Read if you should give attribution or not (if yes, read how they want to be credited).
My favorite background creator is FlowerGriefer, so you can always send her a PM if you need something. Just remember to be careful when using images. Also, brand names like coca cola aren’t allowed either. If you do find an image free to use on Pixabay, but it has a brand name/logo like coke on it, it will not be accepted. If your background is accepted but violates a rule like it’s not free to use, then you should not use that background. At the end of the day, it’s your responsibility to make sure the images you upload are allowed to be used (Episode even asks you to check mark the little box that says “By clicking this box and/or uploading any content, you represent and warrant that such content is original to you or that you otherwise own the rights to assign or grant to Episode Interactive the rights, title and interest in and to Your Content as set forth in the Episode Terms of Service without Episode Interactive incurring any third party obligations or liability arising out of its exercise of such rights and licenses.”
Be careful and remember to respect the artworks of others and if you don’t know who to credit or where the image came from, best not to use it at all. Another tip is to name the background with the creator’s name or where it came from.
Hope all this helps ^^
