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.
