I believe background-size requires two 'arguments' so background-size: 20px 20px; one for the height of the background and one for the width of the background so you would now have a background of 20px by 20px, some css values allow a single value even though they actually accept 4 arguments such as padding, but backgrounds-size requires both values the height and the width.

Doing google searches on css values will usually return examples of the values they most likely are expecting :)
