HELP!!!

Draw a tree diagram illustrating the events, two cards are drawn in succession with replacement from a standard deck of 52 and its suit is observed.

I got 50 branches but it's wrong and I'm not sure what I'm doing incorrectly.,

There should be sixteen branches. There are four possible suits for the first card, hearts, diamonds, clubs, spades. Then each of those four branches has four branches for the second card drawn. 4*4 = 16.
