CSS Foundations: Declaring Multiple Background Images

"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"... I'm doing it and its not working, I don't know what to do

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Multiple Background Images</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="page.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
</head>
<body>
    <div class="sketch"></div>
</body>
</html>
style.css 
.sketch { 
  background: 
    url('img/pencil.png') no-repeat bottom-left, 
    url('smiley.png') no-repeat top-right, 
    url('img/texture.jpg') #EED293; 
}

Hi Joshua,

You're really close, actually. There's a couple places you are hitting issues. For one, your smiley.png image does not have the correct path to it. Also, when you are declaring the background position you do not need the hyphen between the values, for example "top-right" is incorrect, it would be "top right", as shown below:

/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */

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

Just as a heads up, I edited the title of your question as well so that it is more helpful to other members.
