Can't touch footer images with CSS

For some reason, my CSS for the footer img size isn't affecting the size....

HTML.html 
<footer>
        <a href="http://twitter.com/scottathomas"><img src="img/twitter-wrap.png" alt="Twitter logo" class="social-icon" /></a>
        <a href="http://facebook.com/scott.thomas2"><img src="img/facebook-wrap.png" alt="Facebook logo" class="social-icon" /></a>
        <p>&copy; 2016. This is where my stinky feet are! </p> 
 </footer>
CSS.css 
footer img.social-icon
  width:20px;
  height:20px;
  margin:0 5px;
}

I have tried just using .social-icon, and many other variations in the stylesheet. Nothing.

Hi Scott,

You're just missing the open curly brace for your CSS rule. Should look like:

footer img.social-icon {
  width:20px;
  height:20px;
  margin:0 5px;
}

Thanks Greg. I just pasted the css into Dreamweaver and noticed this immediately.
