Step 1: HTML code for Image:

HTML




<!-- Give a suitable heading using h1 tag-->
<h1 style="color: green; text-align: center;">
  GeeksForGeeks Glowling Card
</h1>
<div class="container">
  <!-- Set a image a background named gfg.jpg present in images folder -->
  <img class="GFG" src="images/gfg.jpg"
       alt="GeeksForGeeks" />

HTML




<style>
  
.GFG{
  
    width:200px ;
    height:250px;
    margin-left: 550px;
    border-radius: 10%;
}
.GFG:hover{
    color: #111; 
    background: greenyellow; 
    box-shadow: 0 0 100px greenyellow; 
}
</style>
