What's Wrong With This?

Can't see why this code won't pass:

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

Here's my solution

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

Thanks for the correction Jason... So I think the order of the images isn't correct ;)

Hi Christian,

In the case of using 2 keywords the order doesn't matter because the browser knows which is horizontal and vertical based on the keyword name.

The expected order though is horizontal positioning first so if you use lengths or percentages like 20px 50px the first one is going to be used for horizontal positioning.

I would recommend sticking to the order of left bottom and right top so that you can condition your brain to remember the order.

Hi Charith,

All your values are correct. The only problem is your layering order. The pencil image needs to be on top of the smiley image so the pencil image should be first in the list

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