hey guys, quick question! so i'm creating a card that looks like the image attached. I'm having problems trying to add the white blur/background effect that the text `chapter 01` sits on top of. i've tried using box-shadow's and blooms but not to the desired result yet. any idea how I would be able to achieve this? I'd appreciate a nudge in the right direction. thanks

Hmm could you make it a white `Ellipse` with a gaussian blur applied, or maybe a white glow

Thanks <@U3YFHFL1L> that got the effect that i was looking for :thumbsup:

Another option (as effects can be pretty heavy) is make a larger ellipse and fill it with a radial gradient from white to transparent white.

Make sure you actually use transparent white (`Color.color(1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 0.0)`) as plain transparent is transparent black and it would fade out through gray.
