Wordpress attachment urls as variables

My posts have 3 images attached, I want to turn the 3 image urls into 3 separate variables and use them background images in css. So far I have been able to display the 3 urls, but cannot turn them into variables so I can call them as background image. 

if ($attachments = get_children(array(
              'post_type' => 'attachment',
              'post_mime_type' => 'image',
              'numberposts' => -1,
              'post_status' => null,
              'post_parent' => $post->ID
                  )));

          foreach ($attachments as $attachment) {

              $mynewarray = wp_get_attachment_image_src($attachment->ID, 'rig');
              $anotherarray = $mynewarray[0];
              echo $anotherarray ;
          }

The result of above is here.

How can I separate these and turn them into variables, like $backgroundimage1, $backgroundimage2 & $backgroundimage3. So i can call them later in page, like below

<div class="backgound-image" style="background-image: url(<?php echo $backgroundimage1 ?>)">

You can add all attachments to new array. And get indexes from array same you want.

if ($attachments = get_children(array(
              'post_type' => 'attachment',
              'post_mime_type' => 'image',
              'numberposts' => -1,
              'post_status' => null,
              'post_parent' => $post->ID
                  )));

          $mynewarray = array();
          foreach ($attachments as $attachment) {

              $mynewarray = wp_get_attachment_image_src($attachment->ID, 'rig');
              $anotherarray[] = $mynewarray[0];
              // echo $anotherarray ;
              // not echo, only define in here
          }

After defination, you can get these.

echo $mynewarray[0]; // or [1] or [2]
