Hi there, roy chen ! You're doing terrific but you missed part of the hint in the instructions on the fourth step. Take another look at the hint:

Just like the text-shadow property the box-shadow can take multiple comma-separated values to add additional shadows to the same element.

There should only be one line inside the .main-header selector and it should have the first rule then the second rule separated by a comma.

box-shadow:  /*rule 1*/, /*rule 2*/;

Hope this helps! :sparkles:
