Hey Alicia,

You have a few issues with your html selector.

Change this:

html { border-top:65px solid #4D7094 }
  border-top: 20px solid #8A85A5;
}

To this:

html { 
  border-top: 65px solid #4D7094;
}

See how you had two border-tops declared? There is also a missing semi-colon (;) and an unneeded closing curly brace (}). Hope this helps.
