shadow value must specify a shadow offset and a blur radius and color.
Using two lenghth values the offset will specified.
* First value represents the horizontal distance to the right of the text in positive.
The negative value move the text to left side.
* Second value represents the vertical distance below the text (if it’s positive) or above the text (if it’s negative).
The blur radius is specified after the offset values; it’s a length value that represents the size of the blur effect. If no radius is specified, the shadow will not be blurred.
Color can be specified before or after the offset and blur radius values.
