Issue with CSS Advanced Backgrounds code challenge

Question

Add the image 'smiley.png' located in the 'img' folder 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.

Error:

Bummer! Check the background image values in your CSS.

Answer:

/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
.sketch {
  background: url('img/pencil.png') no-repeat left bottom; url('img/smiley.png') no-repeat right top, url('img/texture.jpg') #EED293;
}

edward diamond -

You've got a semicolon in the middle of your CSS, turning it into one valid CSS rule and one invalid CSS rule. Remove the semicolon and you'll be all set.

I had a programming teacher that used to like to say half of all troubleshooting issues can be solved by going to lunch.

Check your semi colons, seems you've typed a comma instead :P

Edit: ignore my comment, maybe I shouldn't try answering posts first thing in the morning!
