What is wrong with my code?

I feel like I'm doing it exactly right but for some reason, it keeps telling me I'm wrong. In the preview, it looks identical to what the instructions asked me to do. Help?

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Multiple Background Images</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="page.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
</head>
<body>
    <div class="sketch"></div>
</body>
</html>
style.css 
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */

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

Your code is Ok, you just need to fix the order in which you set the images

You need to either specify a height and width or put some content inside the div.

Hi Curtis! I would use background-image property.

           /* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */

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

Hope it helps
