box-shadow

Let's give .main-header an inner-shadow with a second set of box-shadow values. Set the new shadow's horizontal and vertical offsets to 0, the blur radius to 60px, the spread radius to 5px, and the color to firebrick. Don't forget to include the keyword value that creates an inner box shadow.

style.css 
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
.main-heading {
 text-shadow: 0 0 5px #be7b31; 
}
.main-header {
 box-shadow: inset 0 0 60px 5px #aaa;
}



.title {
    text-shadow: 1px 3px 0 #e59740;
}

    </header>

        <div class="primary-content">
