What is wrong with my box-shadow values? .main-header{ box-shadow: inset 0 0 60px 5px firebrick,0 2px 15px #aaa; }

It keeps giving me an error to set my horizontal value to 0 which I have?

style.css 
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
.main-heading{
text-shadow: 0 0 5px #be7b31;
}
.title{
  text-shadow: 1px 3px 0 #e59740;

}
.main-header{
  box-shadow: inset 0 0 60px 5px firebrick,0 2px 15px #aaa;

}

Hi Kimberly! I think you missed one zero ('0') in here:

box-shadow: inset 0 0 60px 5px firebrick,0 0 2px 15px #aaa;

After 'firebrick,0 (here) 0 2px 15px #aaa; Try it and give me back a comment if it doesn't work :)
