When using [`bud.alias`](https://bud.js.org/docs/bud.alias/) with SCSS (SASS) ([`bud-sass`](https://bud.js.org/extensions/bud-sass/)), you can use the alias functions by prefixing them with a tilde sign (`~`), like so (note: `~@images` used in the example is a predefined alias [added by `@roots/sage`](https://bud.js.org/docs/bud.alias/#rootssage)):

```
.test {
  background: url("~@images/background/test.jpg");
}
```

Without that tilde sign (`~`) the path isn’t correctly interpolated when compiling the SCSS.
