Hi Azzie,

I took a look at your code. You have only one small error in your CSS. For your .background-text, make sure to include a hyphen for "no-repeat". Your code will now look like this:

.star, .background-text{ width: 20%; margin: 1em auto; }

.background-text{ color: #FFF; background:transparent url('../img/star.svg') center center no-repeat; height: 300px; }

Cheers!
