box-shadows

give the .main-header an inner shadow with a second set of box-shadow values, set the new shadows horizontal and vertical to 0, the blur radius to 60px, the spread radius to 5px, and the color to firebrick. Dont 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 {

Atm you are over writing the first shadow with the second one. They need to go in one comma separated rule. Hope this helps

Ok mate got it, I've completed it. My problem was I didn't need to close off the first set with a curly bracket but with a comma. Good job thank you!
