Tell us what’s happening:
Describe your issue in detail here.

I don’t understand the description for the step 13.
In the pervious step, it asked us to set the “border: 50px solid black” but the border is too big and can’t wrap around the “canvas”.
Therefore, on step 13, it asks us to change the width= 500px.
Isn’t it widen the border even further away from canvas? << this is what I want to ask.
Thank you for the help.

Your code so far

/* file: styles.css */
.canvas {
  width: 500px;
  height: 600px;
  background-color: #4d0f00;
}

.frame {
  border: 50px solid black;

}

I just come up some idea:
“border: 50px solid black;” is indicated:
border-width: 50px;
border-style: solid;
border-color: black;

Therefore, “width: 500px;” is talking about the space inside the border, like the space from border-left to border-right.
Am I on the right track?

Thank you.
