Hi Muktar,

Your code:

.main-header {
  box-shadow: 0 2px 15px #aaa,
  box-shadow: inset 0 0 60px 5px firebrick;
}

They basically want you to add all in one line with coma, don't need to put twice box-shadow

.main-header {
  box-shadow: 0 2px 15px #aaa, inset 0 0 60px 5px firebrick;
}

;)

I think you need to add the letters "px" after the number 0. For example:

.main-header {
  box-shadow: 0px 2px 15px #aaa,
  box-shadow: inset 0px 0px 60px 5px firebrick;
}```
