Hi Allison,

It's not asking you to set a transition for this task. The transition was set on the .star-bg rule.

For this task you only have to set the fill color to steelblue.

fill: steelblue;

Also, in the first task you only needed to wrap the circle and path elements with the grouping element. You don't have to make copies of the circle and path elements.

Is it due to your colon after fill during your transition in the hover state?
