  box-shadow: inset 0 0 60px 5px firebrick;
}

You are so close. You have all the code correct but when adding multiple layers of shadow, you need to have them separated by commas. view below

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

I hope this helps.

Hey Van,

Your CSS should be under just one box-shadow rule. Use a comma to add multiple box-shadow declarations.

Your code is spot on just requires the comma.

Hope this helps.

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