STAGE 7 CHALLENGE TASK 1 of 1

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.

The stacking order of background images is very important. Try with this:

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

Here is the answer (It seems you inverted the order between the repeat option and the position of your background)

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

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