Hey. You need to nest your circle and path tag in a "g"-Tag. So your code should look like this:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Animating SVG with CSS</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="base.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
</head>
<body>
  <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="60 60 240 240">
        <g>
          <circle class="star-bg" fill="#40adcf" stroke="#red" stroke-width="6" cx="180" cy="180" r="108.3"/>
          <path class="star" fill="#fff" stroke="#fff" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" d="M180 107.8l16.9 52.1h54.8l-44.3 32.2 16.9 52.1-44.3-32.2-44.3 32.2 16.9-52.1-44.3-32.2h54.8z"/>
        </g>
  </svg>
</body>
</html>
