Hi Janet. Hope you are having a great summer.
It looks like you are doing everything right. When I use captcha-recaptcha I just check the box in the Global Configuration panel and turn on the plug-in with the appropriate public/private keys from the Recaptcha website. I would check your settings with the ones on Steve Burge's captcha tutorial. http://www.ostraining.com/blog/joomla/captcha-joomla/ Also, is this site running on your local PC/Mac using WAMP, MAMP. XAMPP, etc. or is it on a live site? I have heard that the captcha feature does not work well on local servers. If possible, try to test your settings on a live site.
