Advanced Backgrounds

I am stuck on the code challenge for Stage 7 of CSS Deep Dive, Backgrounds and Borders- the second to last code challenge called Advanced Backgrounds. The part I am stuck on...

"We have an image file, 'smiley.png', located in the 'img' folder. Add it as an image above the texture background. Set it so that it doesn't repeat, and position it in the top-right corner of the div. Then, add 'img/pencil.png' above the smiley image layer. Set it so that it doesn't repeat, and position it in the bottom-left corner."

Here is the code I entered and it is not working...

.sketch {
    background: url('img/smiley.png') no-repeat right top, 
url('img/pencil.png') no-repeat left bottom, 
url('img/texture.png') #EED293;
}

The line breaks I added here to make it readable. I just put spaces after the commas.

Does anyone know what is wrong with my code? Thanks, Tom

I didn't make the texture .png. I made it .jpg as it was in the original code. Typo.

Hi Thomas,

The challenge asks for the 'pencil/png' image to be above the 'smiley.png' image layer. The 'pencil.png' image must come first for it to be on top. Try swapping the pencil and smiley images over in your declaration and see if that works.

"Constantin Campean 5,358 I found the problem: i reversed the values in the declaration. So instead of CSS .sketch { background: url('img/smiley.png') no-repeat top right, url('img/pencil.png') no-repeat bottom left, url('img/texture.jpg') #EED293; } it should be CSS .sketch { background: url('img/pencil.png') no-repeat left bottom, url('img/smiley.png') no-repeat right top, url('img/texture.jpg') #EED293; }"
