It's inset, not insert :)

Hi Shauna,

Some misspellings there such as "insert". Also this challenge asked you to put "0" offsets and "firebrick", not -2px and #800517

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

I figured it out! Had a wrong spacing. Thanks for all the help on this.
