How do I make .card the new positioning context for .logo?

I'm not sure what to do here. Isn't .card already the positioning context for logo?

style.css 
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */

.logo {
  position: absolute;
  top: -45px;
  left: 125px;
}
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>CSS Positioning</title>
    <link href='https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Varela+Round' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="page.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
</head>
    <body>
        <div class="card">
            <img class="logo" src="city-logo.svg" alt="logo">
            <h2>Best City Guide</h2>
            <p>Cheesecake oat cake marshmallow. Bonbon pastry apple pie danish donut bonbon marshmallow caramels. Bear claw chocolate bar lemon drops. Carrot cake jelly beans jelly beans pie.</p>

No, the positioning context is the closest ancestor element that has explicit position, or the window itself is there isn't one.

:point_right: You need to give .card a position, but not one that would move it.

I'm betting you can figure it out with just that hint and no explicit spoiler, but post a comment if you need additional help.
