  Hi @SlenderShield 👋, good job on completing this challenge! 🎉

  Here are some suggestions you might consider:

  • Centering the element with position would make your element behave strangely on some mobile devices. Therefore, it's better to use more modern methods of positioning elements, like flexbox or grid:

  Using flexbox layout:

  body {
     width: 100%;
     min-height: 100vh;
     display: flex;
     flex-direction: column;
     justify-content: center;
     align-items: center;
  }
  

  Using grid layout:

  body {
     width: 100%;
     min-height: 100vh;
     display: grid;
     place-content: center;
  }
  

  Additionally, remove the position properties to center the card correctly.

  .wrapper {
      display: flex;
      justify-content: center;
      /* position: absolute; */
      /* top: 50%; */
      /* left: 50%; */
      /* transform: translate(-50%, -50%); */
  }

  • You can use CSS background properties directly on your body element to set the background:

  body {
      . . .
      background-color: hsl(185, 75%, 39%);
      background-image: url(./images/bg-pattern-top.svg), url(./images/bg-pattern-bottom.svg);
      background-repeat: no-repeat, no-repeat;
      background-position: right 52vw bottom 35vh, left 48vw top 52vh;
  }
  

  • background-color Set the background color
  • background-image Set a background image
  • background-repeat Sets if a background image will be repeated along the horizontal and vertical axes, or not repeated at all.
  • background-position Sets the starting position of a background image. More information
  • You can also specify the size of the background image with background-size

  The background property is shorthand for all the properties mentioned above but for now. It is better to understand them separately.

  The background-position for me worked with the vw (viewport width) and vh (viewport height) units, but you can also use percentages. It's just a matter of trial and error to place them as you wish.

  I hope those tips will help you.

  Good job, and happy coding!
