## Description
<section id='description'>
The <code>box-shadow</code> property applies one or more shadows to an element.
The <code>box-shadow</code> property takes values for
<ul>
  <li><code>offset-x</code> (how far to push the shadow horizontally from the element),</li>
  <li><code>offset-y</code> (how far to push the shadow vertically from the element),</li>
  <li><code>blur-radius</code>,</li>
  <li><code>spread-radius</code> and</li>
  <li><code>color</code>, in that order.</li>
</ul>
The <code>blur-radius</code> and <code>spread-radius</code> values are optional.
Multiple box-shadows can be created by using commas to separate properties of each <code>box-shadow</code> element.
Here's an example of the CSS to create multiple shadows with some blur, at mostly-transparent black colors:

```css
box-shadow: 0 10px 20px rgba(0,0,0,0.19), 0 6px 6px rgba(0,0,0,0.23);
```

## Instructions
<section id='instructions'>
The element now has an id of <code>thumbnail</code>. With this selector, use the example CSS values above to place a <code>box-shadow</code> on the card.
</section>

## Tests
<section id='tests'>

```yml
tests:
  - text: Your code should add a <code>box-shadow</code> property for the <code>thumbnail</code> id.
    testString: assert(code.match(/#thumbnail\s*?{\s*?box-shadow/g));
  - text: You should use the given CSS for the <code>box-shadow</code> value.
    testString: assert(code.match(/box-shadow:\s*?0\s+?10px\s+?20px\s+?rgba\(\s*?0\s*?,\s*?0\s*?,\s*?0\s*?,\s*?0?\.19\)\s*?,\s*?0\s+?6px\s+?6px\s+?rgba\(\s*?0\s*?,\s*?0\s*?,\s*?0\s*?,\s*?0?\.23\)/gi));
