In the .html file the images are just one after another: <img id="fearful" src="resources/fearful.png" alt="fearful emoji" height="180" width="180"> <img id="tears" src="resources/tears.png" alt="happy tears emoji" height="180" width="180"> Then in the .css file I position them in the same location #fearful { width: 180px; position: absolute; top: 120px; left: 160px; } #tears { width: 180px; position: absolute; top: 120px; left: 160px; }
