It says oops! on, so I'm stuck.

body{ font-family: Nunito, sans-serif; color: #FAF3BC; background-color: #420600 url('img/texture.png') repeat; }

Adrian Heredia - background is a shorthand property it's actually

> A combination of some or all of the values for background-color, background-image, background-repeat, background-attachment and background-position.

So when you use background you can specify a background-color, background-image, background-repeat together under one property.

Whereas background-color you can only specify a background-color

From what I can see, you just need single quotes around the font name. So

font-family: 'Nunito',

instead of : font-family: Nunito,

Hope that helps.
