# Button with Gradient Overlay and Hover Effect

> This CSS code creates a visually appealing button with a gradient background and a subtle hover effect.  It uses pseudo-elements (:before and :after) to achieve a layered look and a smooth transition on hover. The code is well-structured and uses modern CSS techniques for styling.
