Hi DeSean,

Almost close, you just have to create just one box-shadow values together instead two values.

Your code: 

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

Here's example: 

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

Hope that helps ;)
