text-shadow: 0 0 3px #FF0000, 0 0 5px #0000FF;
}

<p><b>Note:</b> Internet Explorer 9 and earlier<br>
versions, do not support the text-shadow property.</p>

</style>
</head>
<body>
<h2>Polaroid Images / Cards</h2>

<div class="polaroid">
<img src="rock600x400.jpg" alt="Norway" style="width:100%">
<div class="container">
