Sass help please

Switch the order of the arguments. Be sure to specify the variable for each argument, or you'll wind up with a height and width of red and a 1px solid 10px border! (Needless to say, that would be invalid.)

@mixin square($color: black, $size) { width: $size; height: $size; border: 1px solid $color; }

.box { @include square(10px, red) }

You simply need to pass in the name and value for each argument in the mixin. Then the order doesn't matter.

.box {
    @include square($size: 10px, $color: red);
}
