  box-shadow: [inset?] [top] [left] [blur] [size] [color];

  Tips:
    - We're setting all the blurs to 0 since we want a solid fill.
    - Add the inset keyword so the box-shadow is on the inside of the element
    - Animating the inset shadow on hover looks like the element is filling in from whatever side you specify ([top] and [left] accept negative values to become [bottom] and [right])
    - Multiple shadows can be stacked
    - If you're animating multiple shadows, be sure to keep the same number of shadows so the animation is smooth. Otherwise, you'll get something choppy.
