You can't do it with the Background feature.
Use the box tool on the Drawing toolbar to draw a rectangle in the correct
place. Set its fill color to what you want, set the line color to No Line,
and set its text wrapping to Behind Text.

Im trying to make a birthday card in word and i have split my a4 into
half via the page break and what i would like to do now is just add a
background colour to the front of the card, or just to the right hand
side of the a4 page. When I try to do this. it covers the whole page,
so it will give me a background colour on the back page as well.
Hope you understand what i mean and hope someone can help me
