If you are referring to the white space, that's not a problem. These two are
duplicates, so you don't need both:
	background-color: #87CEFA 	;
 	background: 	#87CEFA 	;

Also, this one isn't necessary, either:
 	background-image: none 		;

You would probably be better off using another unit of measurement for these:
 	margin-left: 	1cm 		;
 	margin-right: 	1cm 		;
