Hey!

Your answer is almost correct. When defining a second box-shadow, you need to add a comma, not a new line. By doing so, you are overwriting the old value, not adding a second one.

It should look like this:

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

Hope this helps!

this helps a lot. Thanks so much!
