Look at this beauty! It’s green and blue by default,

But wait… hover over it, and BOOM 💥! It lights up like a neon sign after too much caffeine. ☕💡

Step 1: Let’s get the Basics down

So, first things first — here’s our basic button wrapped in a super-chill container. Nothing fancy yet… but hang tight! We’ll get there.

<div class="button-container">

.aurora-glow-button {

    font-size: 1.4rem;
    color: #fff;
    background: linear-gradient(145deg, #32cd32, #1e90ff);
    border: none;
    border-radius: 20px;
    cursor: pointer;
    box-shadow: 0 0 20px #32cd32;
    transition: all 0.5s ease;
