    align-items: center;

  .bg-lemon-ginger {
    background: #998235;
  }
  .upside-down {
    transform: rotate(180deg);
  }
  .box {
    width: calc(50px + 50px + 50px + 50px + 60px);
    display: flex;
    flex-wrap: wrap;
    gap: 20px;
  }
  .ball {
    width: 50px;
    height: 50px;
    border-radius: 50%;
  }
  .cup {
    width: 50px;
    height: 50px;
    border-top-left-radius: 50px;
    border-top-right-radius: 50px;
  }
</style>

Key Takeaway(s):

• using display: flex to align items both vertically and horizontally
• using gap property to create equal spacing between flex children elements

As always, I welcome any feedback or questions regarding the implementation detail of the challenge. Otherwise, I hope this was useful!
